Thank you

Hi
You can turn off immutability on your Linux Repo in the Repo settings (rt-click > Properties), but your backups will still be immutable for the duration they were set initially.

You would also needs to remove the immutable attributes from the directory and files on the Ubuntu server if you wish to continue using them for backups.

You could just create a new folder and then create a normal repository pointing to this folder if you just need a new repository without immutability.

Good one Wes 😊 But how are the previous restore points handled?

To me that would be starting a new chain and leaving the existing to age out.

Thank you very much - that helps.
I can change the attributes like metioned in the Veeam KB 4348?
Otherwise I create a new folder and copy the files to it.

If you create a new folder and copy keep in mind the immutable attribute moves to so might not want to do that.

The previous one will stay there until the retention can delete them.

Since v12 there is no checkbox “to turnoff immutability”. Hardened repositories have their own type of repository.

Hi together,
there ist no checkbox (thats rigth Fabian).
I have add a “new” Repository on the Linux Server, add a directory and edit the Backup Job. On the Storage-Tab I choose the new directory on the “new” Repository and the Backup Server asked me to move the Backup Files. I said yes and a little time later the move job was finished. I startet the job and the Backup Server made an incremental Backup!
Everthing is fine now. Thank you very much for your HELP!
Best Ralph
