One example method includes generating first and second snapshots of a shared protection namespace of a backup storage device. The first snapshot includes a first working frozen copy of an active namespace and the second snapshot includes a second work working frozen copy of the active namespace. First and second point-in-time copies of the first and second working frozen copies are generated in the shared protection namespace. The first point-in-time copy includes first files extracted from the first working frozen copy and that are stacked in at least one first horizontal file. The second point-in-time copy includes the second files included in the second working frozen copy that are stacked in at least one second horizontal file. A retention lock is applied to the at least one first and second horizontal files.
