Quarantining information in backup locations

An apparatus, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the apparatus to:
• store a plurality of snapshots of a target object that is within a computing system, the plurality of snapshots corresponding to a plurality of versions of the target object;
• obtain a first indication that information in a snapshot of the plurality of snapshots is flagged for quarantine;
• generate, based at least in part on receiving the first indication, a second indication that the information in the snapshot is prohibited from being restored during a restoration operation for the target object;
• and
• store the second indication that the information in the snapshot is prohibited from being restored.

A non-transitory, computer-readable medium storing code comprising instructions executable by a processor of a device to cause the device to:

• store a plurality of snapshots of a target object that is within a computing system, the plurality of snapshots corresponding to a plurality of versions of the target object;
• obtain a first indication that information in a snapshot of the plurality of snapshots is flagged for quarantine;
• generate, based at least in part on receiving the first indication, a second indication that the information in the snapshot is prohibited from being restored during a restoration operation for the target object;
• and
• store the second indication that the information in the snapshot is prohibited from being restored.
