Object Storage as a Backup Target • Private S3 object storage forecast for immutable /block generation retention

Hi,

I red some posts about retention for S3 immutable storage on this forum, I know also the link for block generation in admin gui and why its used etc... but please if you can help me to clear this out for me. I don't want to reduce it via regedit etc...
object-storage-as-a-backup-target-f52/h ... 87923.html

We would like to to setup Veeam backup copy job with 7 days retention to our S3 object storage with immutable function, we need that these backups will be immutable for 7 days.

If I will setup on the S3 storage: "make recent backup immutable for 7 days", I will get some days from block generation on top of it.
If I will setup in the backup copy job, retention 7 days, how much restore points I will have on my S3 backup storage as the block generation factor can be + 0-10days on top of it. Its somehow predictable?
(I need to know it because our customers have big incr. jobs)

Full: 1000GB
Incr#1: 200GB
Incr#2: 200GB
Incr#3: 200GB
Incr#4: 200GB
Incr#5: 200GB
Incr#6: 200GB
Incr#7: 200GB
Incr#8: 200GB
Incr#9: 200GB
etc...

Thank you!
