NAS SnapLock Protection

For additional protection, LogLogic lets you configure the appliance to use the NetApp SnapLock® software.

If you enable SnapLock for your NetApp NAS Server, all archived raw data is protected and cannot be modified for the time period defined by your data retention settings. Index files are not locked. If SnapLock is enabled, you cannot purge protected files from the NAS server, so make sure you have a enough available space to handle the archiving from the appliance.

Note: If you reduce or extend the data retention settings for your archived data, the new retention time applies only to the new files that are SnapLock enabled. All archived data files on the NAS prior to the change in retention time retain their existing retention time settings.
