+### Protection backups against deletion by retention policy
+
+You can protect any backup against deletion by retention policy with the `vmbackupmanager backups lock` command.
+
+For instance:
+
+```console
+./vmbackupmanager backup lock daily/2021-02-13 -dst=<DST_PATH> -storageDataPath=/vmstorage-data -eula
+```
+
+After that the backup won't be deleted by retention policy.
+You can view the `locked` attribute in backup list:
+
+```console
+./vmbackupmanager backup list -dst=<DST_PATH> -storageDataPath=/vmstorage-data -eula
+```
+
+To remove protection, you can use the command `vmbackupmanager backups unlock`.
+
+For example:
+
+```console
+./vmbackupmanager backup unlock daily/2021-02-13 -dst=<DST_PATH> -storageDataPath=/vmstorage-data -eula
+```
