Step 4. Specify Object Storage Settings

At the Bucket step of the wizard, do the following:

1. Specify general container settings.
2. Specify immutability settings.

Specifying General Bucket Settings

To specify the general bucket settings, do the following:

1. In the Bucket field, enter a name of the bucket or click Browse to get the necessary bucket.

Note that you must create the bucket where you want to store your backup data beforehand.

2. In the Folder field, enter a cloud folder name to which you want to map your S3 compatible object storage with data archive. Alternatively, click Browse and either select an existing folder or click New Folder.

Specifying Immutability Settings

Immutability prohibits deletion of blocks of data from your object storage repository.

To enable immutability:

1. Select the Make backups immutable (recommended) check box.
2. In the Immutability Settings window, specify how the immutability period is counted and set the immutability period in days:

• Select the For the entire duration of their retention policy option if you want the immutability period to depend on the retention policy of a backup job.

• Select the For the minimum immutability period only option if you want to specify the immutability period explicitly. The backup job retention will be skipped.
• Next to the Minimum immutability duration option, provide the necessary value.
