Today we are going to create a Kasten backup to an immutable Backblaze Bucket in the cloud.
Login to your Backblaze account and create the immutable Bucket:
I will name it kastenimmutable:
Make sure to jot done the endpoint:
Next we need to add an application key:
Now lets head back to Kasten and create the location Profile:
Further down check mark the “Enable Immutable Backups” box and proceed to validate the bucket:
We forgot to put a default retention on the bucket. Kasten requires a 21 day default retention set on the bucket:
Back in the Backblaze console click the Object Lock Highlighted text and add the retention:
Now our validation succeeds:
Now we will create a new backup and export the snapshot to our Backblaze immutable bucket:
In the policy make sure to enable Backups via Snapshot Exports and point to our Backblaze location:
Finally run the policy:
That’s it, our policy is now safely backed up offsite in an immutable bucket!
