Abstract:
A snapshot is taken of at least a portion of a file system having a set of files to retain over a retention duration. The snapshot is taken at a level of the file system or a directory of the file system. A retention lock is applied to the snapshot to block, over the retention duration, operations involving deletion of the snapshot. The retention lock is not applied to the set of files.
