## Enabling Object Lock Immutability

MSP360 Managed Backup Service supports configuring immutable backups. The immutability cannot be enabled in the backup agent. It must be enabled in the web console.

- By default, the **Main Administrator** has permissions to manage immutability.

> To use immutability, the software version of the backup agent should be 7.3.0 or later.

> Object Lock (Immutability) can only be enabled at the time a bucket is created. Buckets with Object Lock enabled must also have Versioning enabled.

## Creating an Object Locked Storage Destination

1. Create a bucket with Object Lock enabled in your Wasabi Console.
2. Log in to the MSP360 Managed Backup Service portal. Follow the steps above to add Wasabi as a Storage Account using the Object Lock-enabled bucket that you created.
3. Ensure that **Set Default Object Lock** and **Allow Object Lock for GFS backups** are enabled.
