Configuring Metallic Cloud Storage Service

You can configure the Metallic Cloud Storage Service as a storage target in a CommCell.

Note

Compliance lock prevents manual changes or deletions of cloud data including backups, storage, apps, servers and backup destination copies, even by administrators, until the end of the retention period. After the retention period, normal retention and pruning processes can apply. Compliance lock provides data security at the software level, and locks and protects all associated backup destination copies.

Compliance lock is enabled by default for Metallic Cloud Storage Service. However, if not enabled, you should enable compliance lock manually.

For instructions to enable compliance lock, see Enabling a WORM Copy on a Storage Policy Copy.
