Hi @regnor, thnx for sharing your test results.I couldn’t find the forum post that you mentioned in your topic about .VBM file deletions,did you manage to get more info and can you share the link? Sharing our findingsUsing Veeam V12.0.0.1420 P20230223: We tested the HPe StoreOnce and its behavior as well and found out that the .VBM file is indeed not immutable. We are also able to delete this file in the catalyst store directly or through (files → storeonce), whereas the .VBK files can’t as they are ‘read only’.You can’t delete .VBM using (home → backups) if your datetime is correct on both devices.But if the datetime of your StoreOnce is somehow in the future it seems to delete it.In the Veeam documentation - immutability section it states that Metadata files of a backup chain (.VBM) cannot be immutable because they are updated on every job pass. This explains its behavior of being able to delete them.https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/backup/vsphere/hardened_repository_limitations.htm
