Hi,

 

we are testing backups to Azure blob with time based immutable options. we have 2 containers for short and long term backups.

for short term backups, we decided to use worm workflow, but our issue is with long term backups.

our weekly backups are retained for 7 years, if i use worm workflow it seals DDB every 365 days (maximum with workflow), and we planning to leverage manually setup for this enable immutability on storage container, enable worm option on storage policy level, and make DDB seal time as 7 years.

 

can someone please verify this setup?

Thanks,

Good morning.  Setting the DDB seal time to 7 years would be holding the data for 14 years:

  • For deduplication enabled storage pools, retention (or the WORM lock days) at the bucket/container level is set to twice the retention value set at the storage pool. For example, if retention is set for 60 days in the storage pool then at the bucket/container level, retention is set to 120 days.
