Answer

Cloud Deletion Defense (CDD) allows users to regain access to deleted cloud snapshots when an agent is either mistakenly or maliciously deleted. When agents are deleted, the associated cloud snapshots would normally be deleted too. Cloud Deletion Defense provides a window to recover this cloud data.

Cloud Deletion Defense is available for all BCDR partners and works similar to a 'recycle bin' for the cloud datasets. For security purposes, more detail cannot be disclosed on the specifics how the CDD works.

If you need to recover cloud data with Cloud Deletion Defense, contact Datto Technical Support as soon as possible.
