Immutabiity Date column on backups

Post by tina.cornelison » 1 person likes this post

Backup objects do not provide a column that shows the immutability date of an object. Example: We migrated from storage objects and created new scale out repositories for our jobs. We now see orphaned backups but no column tells us what the immutability date is for removal without running the GFS delete. If you click on the backup disk job properties you can see the date the object was created but again nothing tells you when that object can be expired or deleted. If an object is immutable it'd be nice to be able to see something other than MY.

Hi Tina

We know about the request. For Hardened Repositories, that column is already available.
It's not available for object storage backup repositories.
I'll add your vote to the request.

Thanks,

Hey Fabian -
I see an "Immutable Until" column in Backup Properties for a given job in VBR (I really like that feature!). Is this available for backups which go to a dedup appliance, like Data Domain?
Thanks!

Hi Fabian -
Never mind...I just saw in the User Guide Immutability isn't supported until v12.1, so if that version isn't installed, this column isn't even available.
