Retain forever & Retain as per policy options are only available on an immutable RSV

Hi Team,

I am unable to get the "Retain forever" & "Retain as per policy" options in backup vault with non-immutable vaults. Are these options being only available for immutable vaults only. If yes, do we have a document for the same?

@Narendra Kandula Please refer to the GitHub conversation on this topic - https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/azure-docs/issues/120897

Also check the official documentation - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/backup/backup-azure-immutable-vault-how-to-manage?tabs=recovery-services-vault though it is not explicitly mentioned but the instructions apply to immutable vault.

Hope this clarifies!

Immutable Vaults guarantee data integrity and prevent deletion before the retention period expires, making "Retain forever" and "Retain as per policy" meaningful options.

Do we have any Microsoft public documentation that confirm this option for Immutable and non-immutable vaults.
