To set a legal hold on a backup

1        Select Settings > Storage and Retention > Backup Browser.

2        Select a backup device in the upper pane.

All backups stored on that device display in the lower pane. If desired, click Refresh to update the list.

3        Choose a backup by checking the desired box. Only one backup may be selected at a time when modifying legal hold settings.

4        Select Legal Hold Settings.

For a selected backup, all backups in its group are displayed. For example, if you selected an incremental, all incrementals and their parent full are selected.

5        Do one of the following:

     To set a legal hold on only the backups listed below, adjust the Legal Hold Settings For Individual Backups on the left.

     To set overall retention and legal hold settings for a client, virtual machine, or database, adjust the Retention Settings for your client on the right. These are the same settings you can set in Settings > Storage and Retention > Backup Retention.

The settings that are in effect for the selected backups are highlighted. If legal hold is configured for the client and you set different legal hold settings for a backup of that client, the larger legal hold setting takes precedence.

6        Click Confirm.

Note: Information about backups that have been placed on legal hold can be found in the Legal Hold report. See Legal Hold Backups Report for details.
