NetBackup and NetBackup Appliances Hardening Guide

Support for immutability in Access Appliance

Immutability support for backup images requires locking down the appliance and not permitting any operations that can lead to data destruction. When the appliance is placed in lockdown mode, administrators are prevented from making any changes to the operating system and the internal components.

Important features:

  • Immutable data support with retention locking

  • Retention lock deletion for backup images

  • Access to Remote Management Platform (HP ILO)

  • Transition between different modes

  • Retention lock extension
