 "n/a (backend)" means the upstream object store doesn't expose the feature, so no admin UI can ship it — Garage core does not implement versioning, Object Lock, or SSE-S3/SSE-KMS, and this isn't a UI gap. Rows for MinIO Console reflect the AGPL fork (opens3/console), since github.com/minio/console itself was retired alongside minio/minio in April 2026.
