Abstract
One example method includes generating, by a data backup server agent that is hosted by a backup client computing system, backup data files from data stored at the backup client computing system. The backup data files are written to a temporary folder in a staging location of a backup storage server. A determination is made of if an attempt to move the temporary folder has failed. A failure is indicative that the backup storage server is operating in a retention lock mode. Each of the plurality of backup data files are moved individually from the temporary folder to a final folder in a final location of the backup storage server when it is determined that the attempt to move the temporary folder has failed.
