immutability?

[pesos]

I configured a backblaze b2 bucket to extend a veeam o365 repository, but I'm not seeing any way to enable immutability on it. How is this done?

Thanks!

Hi John,

VBO doesn't yet support immutable backups.

[pesos]

Well that explains that!

Is there an eta for this?

What are the workarounds? Backing up our o365 repository via B&R to an immutable repository?

[Polina]

That might be an option if you use a local repository, but would be worth testing it first.

Built-in support is on the roadmap, but there's no ETA I could share at this point.

[pesos]

That is a real bummer about the timing since the vast majority of our data has now migrated to o365.

[Polina]

Any thoughts on how would you want it to be implemented?

[pesos]

Would it need to be radically different from how b&r does it?

Pesos,

There will be certainly a big difference. B&R is doing snapshots (so image-level backup) where VBO is application-level backup so the way the information is stored is very differently.

Thanks mike. I imagine it will be different but I figured even the ability to treat it like an immutable backup copy would be nice insurance.
