    Notes

    • You can configure Storage lock on the Data Domain Boost Storage Library. For more information, see Enabling WORM Storage Lock. You should enable the Data Domain Retention Lock option in Data Domain Console to enable Storage lock in Command Center.

    • Data Domain Boost Access Library requires MediaAgent to have a cloud storage license.

    • Used space is calculated as Total Capacity minus Free Space. Note that there may be discrepancies between the values shown in Commvault and those displayed in the vendor consoles (such as HPE StoreOnce or DD Boost Client). These differences are typically due to vendor systems including additional overhead or reserved space in their calculations.
