Immutable backups on S3 object storage

[SirLeward]

Does PBS 4.0 support object lock when using an S3 backend datastore? I didn't see anything about object lock in the Backup Server documentation. Thanks!

HI,
object locking is currently not part of the PBS S3 implementation feature set. Deduplication might make it hard to implement this, but could be probably done on manifest, index and reference chunks. Please do open an enhancement request for this on https://bugzilla.proxmox.com so we can further evaluate and properly track this, thanks.

OK, thank you! I was looking at Proxmox as a VMware replacement at our edge sites and this was one of the concerns that came up during testing.
