Backup configuration

Backup SLA policies

Afi uses the concept of a backup SLA policy to protect resources and configure backup settings such as frequency, scope, exclusion settings, retention and archiving rules, as well as encryption keys (Afi-managed or customer-managed). With backup SLA policies, an administrator can configure different protection settings for various groups of resources in a tenant.

Available backup SLA settings are discussed in detail in the following articles:

• Google Workspace
• Microsoft 365
• Microsoft Azure
• Amazon Web Services
• Kubernetes

Auto-protection and mass-management

Afi provides mass-management and auto-protection settings that ensure all resources in an entire tenant or specific sets of resources are protected, leveraging provider-native resource groups for granular auto-protection management:

• Organizational units/Groups for Google Workspace tenants
• Entra ID (Azure Active Directory) Groups for Microsoft 365 tenants
• Subscriptions and resource groups for Microsoft Azure tenants

In addition to provider-native resource groups, Afi supports dynamic resource groups that you can create to match resources based on selected criteria (for example, name, email, department, location, or tag) and use these groups for auto-protection and access management.
