SP server to support IBM S3 cloud side retention policies, WORM features, object locking

When using Cloud Storage Pool in a Spectrum Protect Server , it should support all the features that can be set at the S3 level ( especially when the S3 cloud is IBM !! ) like Cloud side retention policies, WORM features, object locking.
For retention policies it would be nice that Cloud side def matches Sp server defs , but a basic support ( even if the retention policies have to be manually set on each side ) would be a nice step forward

    Hi
    not sure if I understand this correctly, but WORM functionality can be used all the way to the linux server, by using for instance SPFS.
    SPFS is a file system for Spectrum Protect
    With SPFS it is easy to copy/browse Spectrum Protect storage data using normal file system operations such as
    # ls
    # cp
    C:\> dir
    ...
    All data management is easily controlled by the spectrum protect backup server

    and the spfs data is secure as it act as a WORM media, regardless of where the actual media is stored (cloud,disk,tape,cd,NAS ...)

    more details is here
