Retention Lock, Compliance Lock, Software WORM, WORM Copy → All these refers to same CV software level WORM protection. It prevents users from deleting jobs, client, backupset, subclient...etc data bearing entities when they have valid jobs, and also it prevents reducing retention.
Before 11.30 → you can use either Java Console to enable this at storage policy copy level by selecting WORM copy option or use Enable Retention Lock workflow to enable WORM copy option on all copies of a selected storage pool.
11.30 onwards → we renamed this option as “Compliance Lock” to avoid confusion with “WORM storage” and exposed it in both Command Center and Java Console under storage pool properties. Simply select the toggle “Compliance Lock” on the storage pool to enable this.
WORM Storage → Refers to hardware level (storage vendor side) WORM protection. With this option data is locked at storage side to prevent any direct deletions and/or modifications from storage side.
We automatically enables “Compliance Lock” when WORM Storage is enabled to prevent retention changes to align with storage side lock.
Before 11.30 → use “Enable WORM Storage” workflow to enable this.
From 11.30 → we exposed this option in both Command Center and Java Console under storage pool properties. Simply select toggle “WORM Storage” on the storage pool to enable this.
