Enabling Backup Locking

Updated on 2025-01-17 GMT+08:00

Scenarios

To prevent the backup data from being deleted by mistake or maliciously, you can enable backup locking for vaults to improve data security.

Once enabled, all backups in the vault enter the WORM (write once, read many) status. No one can delete the backups that are in their retention periods.

This section describes how to enable backup locking for a vault. You can also enable it when purchasing a vault.

NOTE:
  • Backup locking does not affect normal backup, restoration, and replication operations.
  • Manual backups are not affected by backup locking and can be manually deleted.
  • If you enable backup locking, set Type of Retention Rule to Time period. In this way, even if you modify the retention rule of the policy, backups with the original policy applied will be automatically deleted based on the original expiration time, backups with the new policy applied will be retained based on the new retention rule.

Constraints

  • Backup locking cannot be disabled after it is enabled.
  • After backup locking is enabled, associated resources cannot be dissociated and files cannot be migrated.
  • After backup locking is enabled, policy-based backups can only be deleted after they expire. You cannot manually delete them.
  • After backup locking is enabled, pay-per-use vaults cannot be deleted if they contain backups, but yearly/monthly vaults can be unsubscribed from.

Enabling Backup Locking for an Existing Vault

  1. Log in to the CBR console.

    1. Log in to the management console.
    2. Click in the upper left corner and select a region.
    3. Click and choose Storage > Cloud Backup and Recovery. Select a backup type from the left navigation pane.

  2. On any backup page, locate the target vault and choose More > Enable Backup Locking in the Operation column.
  3. In the displayed dialog box, click OK to enable backup locking.

  4. Click OK.
