Read on to learn about how Backupify implements seat management and can archive users.

Archiving Users With Backupify

So, does Backupify archive users? Yes!

Backupify does indeed offer companies the ability to archive users for Microsoft 365 and Google Workspaces. Here’s how it works:

• Essentially, if a user is unlicensed, the user will become archived in Backupify.
• Archived users and accounts will cease running new backups, since there isn’t any user in Office 365 or Google Workspaces to back up.
• However, they will continue to use a license since Backupify retains that data. Archived users are indicated by a small filing cabinet icon next to their name.
• If you unseat a user in Backupify SaaS protection, new backups will cease running, free up their license, and immediately have any existing backup data removed from the system.

You may be wondering what happens to your archived users or how to tell if a user is archived. Firstly, the archived users or admins on an account can still restore or export, and these accounts will continue to use a license until they are manually removed from Backupify. Before deleting any users, be sure to take these steps for Microsoft 365 and Google Workspaces.

Secondly, companies are able to deduce whether a user is archived using Backupify’s new Seat Management functionality, which you can read about below.

How to Tell if a User is Archived in Backupify
