Description

Azure Backup users will now have immutable WORM storage for their backups when immutability is enabled and locked on a Recovery Services Vault. When immutability is enabled, it ensures that a Recovery Point, once created, cannot be deleted or have its retention period reduced before its intended expiry. Now, when immutability is locked, Azure Backup will also use WORM-enabled immutable storage to meet any compliance requirements. This feature is applicable to both existing and new vaults with locked immutability. It is currently in preview in limited regions.
