Do SnapLock volumes support per-file retention periods?

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Not Applicable
• D. Not Known

Answer: (A)

SnapLock is designed to enforce immutability for regulatory compliance, and you can apply retention at the file level within a SnapLock volume. This means each individual file can have its own retention period, so a file can be kept immutable for a specific duration while other files on the same volume have different or shorter (or no) retention periods. The system prevents deletion or modification of a file until its assigned retention expires, providing granular control over how long each item must remain protected. This per-file retention capability is what makes SnapLock flexible for varied documentation needs, rather than locking the entire volume to a single, uniform hold.
