for a customer I have Veeam 12 installed and as primary Repository an Ubuntu Server with the possibility to configure immutability, as secondary I have a Gen4 HPE StoreOnce with also the possibility to configure immutability, where do you advise me to make immutability backups, on the Primary or Secondary Repository or on both ? (the two Repositories are in two different locations)

Repository with Immutability Primary or Secondary Repository?
Best answer by HunterLAFR
Ideed, Both would be the best,
then, you can play with the retention policy,
use the ubuntu as primary 30 days immutability / retention.
and the Storeonce as long retention, Archiving, etc… setting up a higher immutability, to ensure your backups and have extra restore points taking advantage of the deduplication.
cheers.
+7I would say both. You can configure a few days immutability on the repository (less than daily retention).

I would follow this for setup so you have one with short term retention and the other for longer retention. You could do a backup copy job of the initial one going to the Ubuntu repo on the Storonce.

+4You can never have too much immutability enabled. I always recommend that all copies of the data that can be made immutable, be made immutable.
