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. To manage immutability, an Administrator should have the appropriate permissions. For more information, click here.
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.
