Hi All, 

Can I just check what is the expected status of the Object Lock ‘Default Retention Period’ on an AWS S3 bucket after running the ‘Enable WORM Storage’ Workflow?

As part of the Documentation it states to ‘Disable Default retention when Object Lock is enabled’ prior to running the workflow.  When running the workflow (which completes successfully) on test it doesn’t update Default Retention to 60 Days (My copy retention is 30days) and remains disabled.  However, when copying data up to the bucket when running a backup to the locked Storage Policy Copy, objects are correctly locked to the required retention period by Commvault (60 Days) in compliance mode. 

So the question being:  Should the Default Retention be set to the specified Retention lock period or remain disabled for Commvault to set on a per object basis?

Thanks in advance.

Hi @G.lee 

Thanks for reaching out

Since you’re using AWS S3 Object lock, this is expected behaviour.

Documentation states:

The workflow does not set anything on the cloud bucket/container for vendors who support object-level retention. Retention is set during backup jobs at each object-level for these vendors.

Thank you
