OneDrive for Business User Storage Backup

New OneDrive Strategy
Hi, I'm interested in views on strategy to rollout the new OneDrive experience. Whilst it is not a new App, it is a major UI update with lots of new features that will make it more engaging to users. Organisations already have challenges with OneDrive around security, retention and governance of OneDrive content. Whilst the update provides extended security and governance options the increased use, that this update will bring, requires greater focus and management to balance the age old empowerment and risk. Also, aside from Copilot are all new features included in existing licensing, or are there additional cost considerations - for features and storage?

Backup User Storage OneDrive for Business
Dear Community, It came to my attention, when I was writing a manual for our users within our organization. I was questioning my IT manager and another IT colleague that has been working longer then me at the same Organization the following question: Are we backing up the users OneDrive Files and Folders? And what solution are we using to Back it up? To my surprise I got answered as followed: we are currently not using any backup solution due to OneDrive for Business is making/creating its own backup and user’s data are safe in that way. As a very curious IT, I started to search for answers, and the only thing I could find is and what a lot of people are mentioning is that, OneDrive for Business has a retention policy of 90/93Days (some say 90 and some say 93). So my question to the community is as followed: Does OneDrive for Business gets backed up? How? Or is it just what people say, that you only get the retention policy and if the file/folder surpasses the date its gone forever? Thank you and i will kindly wait for tips, suggestions, feedback.
