How to Decide Which Data Should Be Included in Immutable Backups

Immutable storage can protect critical recovery points but may raise cost and complicate deletion or retention obligations.

Checks to make

Classify data by recovery value, change rate, sensitivity, and retention need. Define protected copies and retention windows, restrict policy changes, and test restoration and authorized expiration. Include system configuration and identity dependencies needed to recover service.
