Immutability for Backup Files

Veeam Backup & Replication allows you to prohibit the deletion of data from backup repositories by making that data temporarily immutable. It is done to increase security: immutability protects your data against loss due to attacks, malware activity or any other harmful actions.

Note

After you enable immutability, Veeam Backup & Replication will not support the deletion of immutable backups until the immutability expiration date comes.

You can enable the immutability feature for the following types of backup repositories:

Dell Data Domain. For more information, see Immutability for Dell Data Domain.
Hardened repository. For more information, see Hardened Repository.
HPE StoreOnce. For more information, see Immutability for HPE StoreOnce.
Object storage repository. For more information, see Immutability for Object Storage Repositories.
Scale-out backup repository. For more information, see Immutability for Scale-out Backup Repository.
