Imported backup to Archive storage

[parneye]

We have an imported backup, Disk (Imported).
I've found a way to copy it to object storage (capacity tier), but I have not found a way to move it manually to the archive tier.
Syncing of the Capacity and Archive tier have no effect I believe because there is no job linked to this backup.

I've tried looking at making a backup copy job to copy the imported backup so that it becomes a normal backup, but none of the options work to see the imported backup.
The VMs no longer exist, so I can't map the backups.

Basically it's a chain of about 10 GFS VBKs ~11TB, that I want to put into Archive storage on Azure because it's cheaper.

I've tried manually moving to object storage, and then looking at flicking the blobs to Archive manually, but there are lots of little files.
I believe when Veeam manages the archive it uses larger blobs etc...

So to summarise, I can use Veeam to manually move to the capacity tier, albeit not smartly like it does with normal jobs and deduplication, but the main issue is I cannot manually move them to the Archive tier.

You can manually move an imported backup to Capacity Tier, but in order to move it to Archive Tier you have to associate it with some job first. Thanks!

thanks veremin.. is there a way to associate it with a job if the VMs don't exist anymore?
We moved from a vSphere environment to a azure-windows agent environment, so there are no VMs to map the old backups to.

Haven't tried it personally, but you can create a dummy backup job with some random computer in it and map it to existing backup. Thanks!
