Abstract

One example method includes accessing a point-in-time copy including retention locked backups that were stored on a backup storage server at a time the point-in-time copy was generated. The method further includes accessing a current namespace including retention locked backups that are currently stored on the backup storage server. Each retention locked backup includes data backup files. The method also includes determining a first set of retention locked backups that are included in the point-in-time copy, but are not included in the current namespace. The method finally includes copying the first set of retention locked backups from the point-in-time copy into the current namespace without removing any of the retention locked backups already in the current namespace.
