Support to backup S3-based on-premise Object storage (private cloud) to Tapes using ISP or ISPP

Object storage is trending these days and we want to be able to secure it using IBM Spectrum Protect or IBM SPP on tapes. Currently no option to do so on standard S3 protocol. Other vendors are supporting backing up S3-based object storage into tapes.

    Essentially our TSM servers backend storage are Tape storage pools. Currently to backup an S3 client you need Object storage pool for that. However we want to backup and archive to tapes so to support DR activities
