Currently, only one active backup policy per underlying service is supported (that is, one for OneDrive accounts, one for SharePoint sites, and one for Exchange Online users). You can add or remove artifacts (sites or user accounts) to or from each active policy.
Choose the permission or permissions marked as least privileged for this API. Use a higher privileged permission or permissions only if your app requires it. For details about delegated and application permissions, see Permission types. To learn more about these permissions, see the permissions reference.
