@ -29,7 +29,7 @@ A backup repository is simply a destination to send the backups or backup copies
- If you use object storage like Backblaze B2 or Amazon S3, you can configure an "Immutability Period" for backups that are sent to these destinations, meaning if your backup server was hit by ransomware or a malicious actor, neither they nor you could delete the backups in the off-site storage such as Backblaze B2 until the immutability period had passed, such as 7 days, 30 days, or however long you configured.
- You can adjust the immutability period after-the-fact, but backups that have already been pushed to a backup repository will be immutable for the time period configured when they were originally uploaded, and attempts to delete them will tell you when you are allowed to delete them. You won't be able to delete them even from Amazon or Backblaze's own internal tools / websites during this immutability period.
### Backup Proxy
A backup "proxy" simply refers to a machine that is running the "**Veeam Backup Transport** agent on it. The Veeam Backup & Replication server installs a proxy onto itself, but it also deploys proxies onto workstations, servers, and hypervisors. These proxies are how the "Veeam Backup & Replication Console" interacts with the devices and performs backups and restores.

### Service Provider
Service Providers are not the same as cloud storage providers such as Backblaze B2, Amazon S3, etc. Service Providers are Veeam "partners" who manage, maintain, and deploy Veeam backup appliances at client environments, as well as providing support to clients within the Veeam ecosystem. You can also use Service Providers as a cloud backup destination in Veeam Backup & Replication for off-site backups.
