Locking copies automatically

For deployments that are running DD OS Version 7.6 and earlier, use the automatic retention lock feature to lock copies automatically.

Prerequisites

The Cyber Recovery vault DD system must run PowerProtect DD OS Versions 6.2.1.50 through Version 7.6.

About this task

NOTE:
  • Do not configure the automatic retention lock feature on a policy on a deployment that is running DD OS Version 7.7 and later. Later versions of DD OS and the Cyber Recovery software provide retention locking automatically when the data is copied. Using the automatic retention lock feature with this DD configuration introduces some unnecessary constraints, such as the inability to create an unlocked copy.
  • If your deployment uses the CyberSense software, we do not recommend using the automatic retention lock feature.

If the automatic retention lock feature is enabled, the Cyber Recovery software automatically locks any copies that are created on the DD system. This feature supports both Retention Lock Compliance and Retention Lock Governance.

When you enable automatic retention locking on a policy:

  • The Cyber Recovery UI lists only the Secure Copy, Copy Lock, and Sync policy actions.
  • You cannot disable automatic retention locking.

Steps

  1. Log in to the Cyber Recovery UI.
  2. Select Policies from the Main Menu.
  3. Either add a policy or edit an existing policy.
    The Add Policy or Edit Policy window is displayed.
  4. Click the checkbox to enable the automatic retention lock feature.

    A Cyber Recovery copy is fully retention locked when all files are copied to the repository and a five minute delay has been applied.
