@MicoolPaul Are you talking about disabling Immutability? Disabling immutability on an object Storage is not possible. You get an error. Immutability on Linux Hardened Repositories can be disabled in my testlab, but Veeam One will alarm you about it. yes… I mean disabling it on Linux hardened repository… Veeam One will warn me… but in my opinion it shoud be a good idea put a warning in the result email of the copy itself
@Zucchetti Spain, correct on waiting the immutability time, I can’t find the document but I thought I saw something about not being able to change the immutability state of a hardened repository after initial deployment, I may be thinking of Object Storage, @vNote42 / @Mildur, does this ring any bells to yourselves? I have tried It and I can remove the chek in Veeam… with no warning. now i’m waiting 7 days to pass but I’m quite sure I will be able to delete my (test) backups… In my opinion Veeam should warn about “this backup has changed form inmutable to non inmutable” for at least some days...
Also to add, if you’re using Veeam ONE (which, you really should be!), there’s built in alarms for Immutability state and Immutability change tracking. So this would drive your warnings. that’s a good point!! thanks!
So the easy way to attack a inmutable copy is: Take control of Veeam server. change the repository config. (remove inmutability) wait the inmutability time (let’s say 7 days) You will be able to delete restore points from Veeam console… and final user has had no warning. Am I correct? you would still have to wait for the immutability time to expire, so if I put 160 days…. The lock is on the object store so Veeam and windows can’t change it. Yes, I said “wait the inmutability time”… if it’s very long you will be safer… but you will need a really big disk
