RL software is qualified and certified with industry-leading backup applications such as PPDM, NetWorker, Avamar (v19.6), and is compatible with the industry-standard, NAS-based (CIFS, NFS), Write-Once-Read-Many (WORM) protocols. In addition, due to DDBoost integration, it is also supported on third party applications such as Veritas Net Backup, Commvault, Veeam Backup, and Replication v12a.
Backup applications including PPDM, NetWorker, Avamar v19.6, and Symantec Net Backup can also use custom scripts leveraging existent REST APIs to control their RL software on the PPDM system. For information on creating custom scripts to manage the retention policies of individual files, see the DDOS Admin Guide or Data Domain Management Center REST API, and refer to the Retention Lock section.
