    If the backup destination used for storing the backup set is an immutable destination, then the backup user account must be setup with 2FA in order to delete corrupted data blocks. If the backup user account does not have 2FA, DIC will proceed but there will be a warning in the logs since deleting of corrupted data blocks will not be allowed.
