[Feature Request] - possibility to expand (change) retention policy for object storage repos with immutability

[DE&C]

https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/vbo36 ... tml?ver=70

"If you have extended your backup repository with object storage for which immutability was enabled, you cannot change the retention period."

We have the situation where the customer has set 1 year for the retention (object storage with immutability). Now he would like to go for 2 years.

It makes sense, that you can't change it to something shorter with immutability. But why not a longer retention?

• Option 1) immutability 2 years only for the new objects (rentetion 2 years for all the objects)

• option 2) immutability AND the retention will be set for all the existing and the new objects to 2 years->prefered

I'm aware that with the option2 there will be additional cost for the API-calls

Hey @DE&C

We are working on something for new repositories in our next release that will allow changes in this (obviously with limitations, only extend, going lower will not be allowed ).

For now, this will be on new object repositories but we are already thinking and working towards "migration scenario's" to allow data from 1 repository with X settings to another repository with Y settings

@Mike Resseler: Any information on this ?

We have 3 customers that have set x years (with immutability) but now want to extend the duration to x+n years.
