SPP archive to on-prem COS

Archive to on-prem COS:

Our team uses Spectrum Protect Plus for VMWare incremental backups to COS vaults without issue. In one policy, incremental backups are taken daily and kept for 7 days. The archive feature in any SPP policy only allows for archive to ICOS (us-south) per support case. We need to archive to our on-prem COS (Version: 3.15.7.54) and need to have that functionality included with on-prem COS.

We cannot use tape and would like an immutable copy in our on-prem COS.
