Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices for data management are described. A data management system (DMS) may receive an indication of a storage configuration for an object storage location within a cloud environment. The DMS may generate a snapshot of a computing system in accordance with a backup policy associated with the computing system. The DMS may cause one or more data objects corresponding to the snapshot to be stored in the object storage location within the cloud environment in accordance with the storage configuration. The DMS may apply immutable object locks to the one or more data objects within the object storage location. The DMS may execute, in accordance with the backup policy associated with the computing system, one or more jobs that cause the respective immutable object locks for the one or more data objects to be extended one or more times during a retention period for the snapshot.
