By default, all backup options are available. Use configuration settings to restrict some or completely disable all backup options:
Don’t allow any kind of backup
To prevent your users from creating any kind of backup, use th_disable_backups. (This configuration setting overrides all configuration settings listed below.)
Prevent ID exports
To prevent your users from exporting their Threema ID, set the parameter th_disable_id_export totrue.
Prevent data backups (Android)
In Threema Work for Android, users can create data backups. To prevent this, set the configuration setting th_disable_data_backups, to true.
Prevent inclusion in OS backups (iOS)
iTunes backups can include Threema data. Set th_disable_data_backups to true to exclude Threema data from OS backups. Due to a restriction on iOS’ part, it’s not possible to distinguish between iTunes and iCloud backups.
Threema Safe
Set the configuration setting th_safe_enable to false to prevent users from creating Threema Safe backups. To learn more about the configuration of Threema Safe using configuration settings, please refer to this Help article.
