# How to enable Immutable Storage

This guide will walk you through how to enable Immutable Storage within Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud. **What is Immutable Storage:** ”The data stored in an immutable backup solution is tamper-proof; this means it cannot be modified, deleted, or overwritten. In immutable backup, data is stored in a read-only format, prohibiting write privileges to ensure data cannot be changed.” From [https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/immutable-backup/](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/immutable-backup/)

## How to enable Immutable Storage
