Abstract
One example method includes adding a retention locked (RL) mode compliant replication component to a first data backup server that is configured to operate in a non-RL mode. The retention locked mode compliant replication component causes backup data files that are stored in a non-RL mode on a backup storage server to be virtually copied to backup data files that are stored in a RL mode on the backup storage server. The backup data files are for backup server clients that are configured to operate in the non-RL mode. The retention locked mode compliant replication component causes control of the backup data files stored in the RL mode to be given to a second data backup server that is configured to operate in the RL compliant mode.
