The steps that should be taken to correct the storage configuration based on the customer’s hardening requirements are to add hardened repositories to each Scale-out Backup Repository and evacuate the data from the CIFS extents. A hardened repository is a type of backup repository that provides immutability and ransomware protection for backup files by using Linux XFS file system features and Linux access control mechanisms. A Scale-out Backup Repository is a logical entity that groups several backup repositories into one pool of storage. A CIFS extent is a type of backup repository that uses a shared folder on a Windows or Linux server as a backup target. By adding hardened repositories to each Scale-out Backup Repository, you can ensure that your backups are secure, compliant, and efficient. By evacuating the data from the CIFS extents, you can remove the risk of ransomware infection or deletion of your backups.
