Policy Description
When online backups are enabled, user data is stored in one of many data centers worldwide. By default user data is generally located in a location that is closest to the user's, location when each user creates their account.
For example users in the US will have their data stored in a US data center, and users in the EU will have their data stored in an EU data center.
Available data centers;
- US – East Coast
- US – West coast
- Ireland (EU)
- Frankfurt (EU)
- London
- Montreal
- Singapore
- Sydney
- Tokyo
- Seoul
- Sao Paulo
Settings
- The default value is OFF
- When this policy is ON a data center must be chosen from the available options. Once a data center is chosen all user data is moved immediately to the designated data center and client applications are updated after their next sync.
- When this policy is OFF users are able to specify any data center they choose.
When turning the policy off
Turning this policy OFF puts the user back in control of where their data is stored. Turning this policy off does not automatically move data to a different data center.
Recommendation
For teams distributed in different geographic regions, specifying a data center in a specific location, rather than allowing Password Boss to pick the closest data center for each user, may better match internal security and privacy concerns.
Availability
