MS-100 Exam - Question 10


You have previously accessed the Security & Compliance admin center to upload a number of archive PST files to Microsoft 365.

When you try to run an import job for the PST files 45 days later, you find that they have been removed from Microsoft 365.

Which of the following is the number of days that Microsoft 365 retains PST file before deleting them automatically?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: B

Microsoft 365 retains PST files in the Azure Storage location for your organization for 30 days after the most recent import job was created. After this period, the files are automatically deleted. This 30-day retention period ensures that you have sufficient time to complete the import job while also managing storage efficiently.

B is correct After Microsoft uploads my PST files to Azure, how long are they kept in Azure before they're deleted? All PST files in the Azure Storage location for your organization (in blob container named ingestiondata), are deleted 30 days after the most recent import job was created on the Import PST files page in the Microsoft 365 compliance center. This also means that after PST files are deleted from the Azure Storage area, they're no longer displayed in the list of files for a completed import job in the Microsoft 365 compliance center. Although an import job might still be listed on the Import PST files page in the Microsoft 365 compliance center, the list of PST files might be empty when you view the details of older import jobs.

B is correct The new policy will limit the number of PST versions retained, resulting in greater storage capacity from PST version storage. • With this new retention policy, PST file versions will be retained for up to 30 days.

Just a question out of context, why would we want to import PST to Azure and have them deleted after 30 days? What's the point of doing all this?
