      Configuring Immutable Backups Using Object Lock

      You can configure immutable backups by enabling WORM functionality on the cloud storage server. Commvault supports object lock in Compliance mode.

      To enable the WORM functionality in Commvault, you will need to use the Commvault Commcell Console. This option cannot be enabled using the Commvault Command Console.

      Follow the steps below to make your backups immutable.

      1. Create an object lock enabled Wasabi bucket. For more information, refer to Object Lock: Enabling.

      2. Add a new storage target using the bucket created above (Steps 1-3).

      3. Log into the Commvault Commcell Console. In the CommCell Browser, navigate to Storage Resources -> Libraries. Right-click on the required library and click Properties.
