Hey everyone.
Can anyone give a reason on why immutability is setup for linux and amazon cloud storage and not for windows and other cloud storage like azure, GCP?

Hi Anandu
For Azure:
Today, Microsoft doesn‘t provide the necessary features/API for Veeam to allow immutability on object level. Only on Blob level, but veeam needs to work on Object Level to provide Immutability in the software.
But chances are high, that with Veeam V12 or later, this will become possible. The object level immutability feature is currently developed and in preview by microsoft.

For Windows:
The filesystem doesn‘t provide an immutability flag like Linux does.
For GCP:
i think, it‘s the same like for Azure. It‘s missing API and Features on googles site.

Yeah hat tip to
Azure object level immutability is in preview now - and when it goes out of preview → Veeam will get to work on it. Overview of immutable storage for blob data - Azure Storage | Microsoft Docs
