If Compliance Lock is enabled on a Storage Policy, Does it affect anything else in the storage pool?

Hi @jdutro,

Compliance Lock at the Storage Policy Copy level does NOT affect other associations of the Storage Pool.

However, if the Storage Pool level has hardware WORM enabled, Compliance Lock will be forced on any Storage Policy Copy using that Storage Pool.

Hi @jdutro , Compliance lock is nothing but enforcing the retention defined on the storage pool / policy. By enforcing, it means to prevent deletion of jobs prematurely, deletion of clients and even lowering of retention. It does not affect anything else with respect to storage policy.

Hi Everyone,

I enabled Compliance Lock on one of the Storage Policies, but I'm unable to delete any backup jobs for the associated subclient. What could be causing this issue? The error message states: "WORM storage enabled for selected subclient(s). Delete operation not allowed."

Thanks,

Sounds like Compliance Lock doing it’s job.  The purpose is to not allow data deletion.

Thanks,
Scott
