Cohesity Alta SaaS Protection Administrator's Guide

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:

    • None: Never replicate deletions to the backup destination.

    • Delayed: Delay deletions by N days (allowing for a period of time to discover any malicious or accidental deletion).

    • Immediately: Immediately replicate deletions.
