Retention policy for Teams
Hello ,
I read carefully all the reply . If I correctly understood , when a Team or O365 groups is deleted , the asssoicated sharepoint is not due to the retention policy applied on sharepoint (this is the behavior that I got) but the O365 groups are deleted, with a possibility to restore within 30 days . And if a retention policy has been activated , the content of the O365 groups or teams ( essentially the conversation chats and groupmail message) are retained somewhere and these data can be receovered via the eDiscovery .
Is this correct ?
Why Microsoft didn't implement a similar litigation hold status for the groupmailbox of the O365 group deleted ?
The ways I can see this , the groupmailbox is deleted , then put in litigation hold unlimited, it's becoming a inactiv groupmailbox. If required for investigation, then a new O365 group is created and we link again the O365 group to the groupmailbox and the data is accessible directly through a teams , etc . Much easier. At the moment it will be difficult to search for a specific O365 group or Teams deleted 1 or 2 years ago
At the moment I deleted a teams site ( 10 days ago deleted )which was containing emails, documents, conversation. I did a search via the eDiscovery and export the result to a PST file . Now I will see in 20 days ( after the 30 days) if I can find the message of the groupmailbox of this deleted O365 groups
benoitrando isn't the better point here that Teams is the same as SharePoint and the same as Exchange, you don't need to learn new skills.
