Preventing Users from Deleting Data from OneDrive for Business

[Mir Hasan]

Currently we are using Carbonite for our data backup solution and we are thinking of moving to Onedrive for Business. One key feature that we need is preventing a user from deleting data from his/her OneDrive. I failed to fine an option to do that. Is there any such option? Any kind of information/help would be highly appreciated.
