Do I need bucket versioning on S3 buckets?

[clbow23]

I am having trouble understanding GFS and immutability. I am currently using a SOBR with GFS and have one backup job. The performance tier holds the backups for 7 days, the capacity tier for 180 days, and the archive tier for 10 years.

Am I correct that the capacity and archive tier GFS backup files are immutable by default? If so, would there be any reason to enable bucket versioning and object lock on these buckets?

@clbow23, immutability should be enabled for all object storage repositories including those used for the archive tier to ensure the objects can not be manipulated. I also recommend using immutability via our hardened repository feature for non-object storage repositories as well.
