Saving Cloud PC data for a time and then restoring

Hi,

 

I'm in a position where we have a cloud PC user who is currently on maternity leave. Whilst she is away we have a new starter covering her position. I'm wondering if there's a way to save the data that's on the mat leave user's CPC so we can free up the license for the new starter? Then be able to restore the saved data when the first user is back from mat leave.

 

I couldn't see anything about this online but thought it might be worth a shot asking on here.

If not, would it potentially be buying another license and spinning up a new CPC?

 

Thanks in advance!

Joel

    If you are using OneDrive, all the saved files should be maintained for the user in the cloud.  If not, this would be the first thing I would do.  All cloud PC users should be storing in OneDrive, as it enables the cloud PC to be reprovisioned as needed.

     

    Since the licensing is a one-to-one subscription, the new associate would need a separate license and cloud PC.  If you were to remove the license for the person on leave, her cloud PC would deprovision in 7 days.
