Object locking requires locking to be enabled on a bucket at the time of bucket creation refer to `mc mb --with-lock`, object locking enables versioning on the bucket and cannot be disabled.

```
mc mb myminio/veeambackup
```

> NOTE: For Veeam Backup with Immutability, create the bucket with object lock enabled, e.g.,

```
mc mb -l myminio/veeambackup
```

> Object locking requires erasure coding enabled on the minio server. For more information see <https://min.io/docs/minio/linux/operations/concepts/erasure-coding.html>.

### Add MinIO as an object store for Veeam

An object that is in transition tier will be deleted once the object hits expiry date or if removed via `mc rm` (`mc rm --vid` in the case of delete of a specific object version). Other rules specific to legal hold and object locking precede any lifecycle rules.

### Additional notes

Tiering and lifecycle transition are applicable only to erasure/distributed MinIO.
