    WORM shared folders

    ADM File Explorer will display WORM-enabled shared folders with distinctive icons to prevent critical data from unauthorized changes or accidental destruction. This ensures only authorized personnel can access and modify files. WORM will even prevent the system time from being tampered with and shorten the lock time of the WORM shared folder. Once a lock time is set, it can only be extended but not shortened. Volume snapshots containing WORM shared folders cannot be restored to overwrite the original data.
