Secure snapshots

  • Starting in PowerStoreOS 3.5, an optional secure snapshot setting provides additional protection for snapshots, volumes, and volume groups. When the secure snapshot setting is enabled, the snapshot and its parent resource are protected from deletion until the retention period expires on all secure snapshots. This provides a cost-effective line of defense against ransom attacks and accidental deletion of snapshots, volumes, or volume groups.

    The Create Snapshot of Volume and Create Snapshot of Volume Group windows are very similar as shown here. PowerStore allows Secure Snapshots to be created for both.
