About WORM policies
All data in Veritas Alta™ SaaS Protection is retained indefinitely by default. Veritas Alta™ SaaS Protection has a Write Once Read Many (WORM) retention policy for its storage (Stor). This policy ensures that the backed-up data cannot be modified or deleted for a specified duration. Once an item is stored in the WORM, it can be read multiple times but cannot be overwritten, modified, or deleted. You can set a retention period to specify how long a particular item must be kept in the storage (Stor). After the retention period, the item can be deleted if needed. The WORM policies make sure that items are only purged once they are eligible for deletion. You can define and apply policies to the items at the time of ingestion or after ingestion when the data is stored on the storage (Stor).
