I am seeing that there is an error in the image that appears at the bottom of the calculator when immutability is enabled.

Veeam documentation referes to:
https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/vbr/userguide/hardened_repository_immutability.html?ver=13#retention

 

  • Veeam Backup & Replication compares the immutability period of the backup repository and the GFS backup file lifetime, and sets an immutability period for full backup files with GFS retention policy as equal to the longest of these periods. For example: the backup repository immutability period is 10 days; the GFS backup file lifetime is 3 years; the backup file will be immutable for 3 years; the increments from this full backup file will be immutable for 10 days from the moment of the last increment creation.

 

The image is not showing the lock for the GFS RPO

Hi ​@Martin Jorge  behavior shown in the calculator appears to be UI issue rather than a calculation issue, since the lock icon is not displayed on the GFS restore points.

Hi Martin,

Thanks for flagging this. You're right. I traced it in the calculator code, and the Restore Points Simulation isn't marking GFS fulls on the performance tier as immutable. Only the short-term points inside the immutability window get the lock. 

I'm logging this so the performance-tier GFS points get marked immutable too.
