Backup tab
The Cohesity Alta SaaS Protection Backup destination option supports recovery and failover. Customers with the appropriate license model or SKU can choose to add backup destinations for their data storage.
When backup is enabled, it serves as a safeguard for your data against rogue administrators. Also, it can be used as an alternative to GRS or RA-GRS replication, especially if the secondary storage is hosted in a different Azure region.
The supported storage types are,
Azure Blob Storage Container
AWS S3 Bucket
AWS S3 Bucket on-premises
Required information for the backup destinations:
Azure Blob Storage Container
Azure Storage Connection String
AWS S3 Bucket
AWS Region
Access key ID
Secret access key
Bucket Name
AWS S3 Bucket on-premises
Endpoint URL
Access key ID
Secret access key
Bucket Name
Blob Tiering Mode: You have the option to:
Use the current tier of the storage account.
Use the Archive tier for Azure or Glacier for AWS (not applicable for S3 Bucket on-premises)
Deletion Propagation Mode provides the customer with the following options:
: Never replicate deletions to the backup destination.
: Delay deletions by days (allowing for a period of time to discover any malicious or accidental deletion).
: Immediately replicate deletions.
