Pinning a Backup Image
By pinning a backup image, you protect backup data it contains from both accidental and planned deletion caused
by backup storage retention.
Key peculiarities:
- If you pin an incremental update, the initial full image and all increments between in the corresponding
chain will be pinned as well. - If you pin a differential update, the initial full image will be pinned as well.
- If you delete a backup job with pinned restore points, they will not be deleted.
- Click Backup & Recovery on the sidebar.
- Select an existing backup job, click the desired restore point on the backup timeline, then select Pin.
- If the specified restore point is a member of a backup chain and requires additional backup elements for
restore, all these images will also be pinned, acquiring the corresponding icon. Click Pin now to confirm.
