New Features

Automatically Create New Storage Vaults Using Policies Protected Items

Since Comet 24.12.0, a new user setting has been available to choose if devices that share the same user account login should back up Protected Items to a shared Storage Vault or isolated Storage Vaults.

This has been extended to interact with Comet's Policy system to set Default Protected Items. A Default Protected Item is a great way to ensure Protected Items are automatically created when a new device is registered to a user.

Now, when the Policy setting under the Storage Vaults tab Automatically create Storage Vault for new devices is configured, new devices registered to a user will have a Default Protected Item created and will have a Storage Vault automatically provisioned and ready to back up.

To make the most out of the Default Protected Item feature you will need to set a Schedule when configuring the Default Protected Item.

When the Storage Vault for the Schedule is set to The Latest Storage Vault any new device registered to the user with this policy set will automatically have a Protected Item and new Storage Vault created and will back up data to this new Storage Vault based on the Schedule.
