PPDD RL allows backup and storage administrators and compliance officers to meet data retention requirements when stored on a PPDD system. RL prevents files from being modified or deleted for a user defined retention period. Once the retention period expires, files can be deleted by the application, but cannot be modified. If a file is written, but not committed for retention, it can be modified or deleted at any time.
There are two RL software modes; Data Domain Retention Lock Governance (RL-G) and Data Domain Retention Lock Compliance (RL-C). Each edition requires a separate license for use .
