Question regarding Block Generation recommendation in AWS S3 Object Storage

[rin]

Hi Team,

I have a question regarding Block Generation design in AWS S3 Object Storage.

I understand that reducing the Block Generation period (for example, from 30 days to 1 day) is not considered a recommended approach in VBR v13.
https://helpcenter.veeam.com/docs/vbr/u ... tml?ver=13

My understanding is that a shorter Block Generation period could make the actual deletion timing closer to the configured immutability period.

Could you help me understand the reason why this approach is not recommended?

Is it mainly because a shorter Block Generation period can no longer guarantee the intended immutability protection for all data blocks, or are there other design considerations behind this recommendation?

Best Regards,
Rin
