Cove Data Protection Feature Focus: Critical Configuration Changes

Feb 26, 2026

Cove 26.2 delivers Critical Configuration Changes, the second feature in our Anomaly Detection story. This feature allows users to create event-based alerts for indicators of compromise in their backup policies, such as changed retention schedules, modified backup profiles, or deleted devices.

With real-time visibility into these changes, users can take just-in-time action to resolve them before recovery efforts are impacted. In this video, we walk through how to create your first notification and outline the main use cases this feature supports.
