Configuring Metallic Recovery Reserve

You can configure the Metallic Recovery Reserve as a storage target in a CommCell.

Note

Compliance lock prevents manual changes or deletions of cloud data including backups, storage, apps, servers and backup destination copies, even by administrators, until the end of the retention period. After the retention period, normal retention and pruning processes can apply. Compliance lock provides data security at the software level, and locks and protects all associated backup destination copies.

Compliance lock is enabled by default for Metallic Recovery Reserve. However, if not enabled, you should enable compliance lock manually.

For instructions to enable compliance lock, see Configuring WORM Storage Mode on Cloud Storage.
