Securing a copy

Secure a point-in-time (PIT) copy for a specific retention period during which the data in the PIT copy can be viewed, but not modified. If a copy is already retention locked, you can extend (but not decrease) the current retention period.

Prerequisites

A policy must create the PIT copy.

About this task

When a copy's retention period expires, the data is no longer protected from deletion.

Steps

  1. Select Policies from the Main Menu.
  2. On the Policies content pane, click Copies to display the list of existing copies.
  3. Select the copy that you want to secure and click Lock.
  4. In the Lock dialog box, specify the retention period and click Save.
    NOTE The Policy Retention Lock Range field displays the minimum and maximum retention value of the policy. Specify a duration within this range.

Results

The retention lock is set. The Expiration Date column changes from No lock set and displays the expiration date and a locked icon. When the retention lock expires, the Expiration Date column displays the expiration date and an unlocked icon.
