Replicate backups to S3 object-lock repository (e.g IBM COS, IBM Ceph)

Many of our IBM clients have listened to our cyber resiliency messaging and looked to re-introduce a "3rd" copy of the data.  In alignment with industry standardization for "321" backup methodology it is important to have an isolated and secure repository outside of the backups storage of data - and a different authentication method.  Thus the ability to copy data (not archive) to a public or private cloud with object-lock/WORM/immutable time based security is imperative for organizations.

    This request may not be delivered within the release currently under development, but the theme is aligned with the current multi-year strategy. IBM may consider and evaluate any RFE Community feedback for this request through activities such as voting. IBM will update this request in the future.
