Description:
Challenge
A tenant's backup copy job with GFS disabled displays the following warning when targeting a Cloud Repository provided by a Veeam Cloud Service Provider: Your service provider has implemented backup files protection against deletion by an insider for this cloud repository. To protect against advanced attack vectors, we recommend that you configure your cloud backup jobs to keep multiple full backups on disk (as opposed to forever-incremental chain with a single full backup).
Cause
This warning occurs when the Service Provider has enabled Insider Protection for that tenant, and the tenant's backup copy job does not have GFS enabled. When GFS is not enabled within the tenant's backup copy job, the Insider Protection "recycle bin" cannot protect that job's restore points from accidental or intentional deletion.
Solution
While the persistent warning may be frustrating, it is intended to remind tenants that a key feature enabled by their Service Provider, Insider Protection, will not be available to protect them from accidental or intentional restore point deletion.
