Migrate backups from cloud provider to Wasabi

[I_am_I]

Hi,

We currently use a cloud provider to backup our VM's (via a copy job). We want to move/migrate these backups to Wasabi S3. How can I do that without losing the current retention for the backed up VMs? Can it simply be done using a copy job that uses cloud provider as source and wasabi as destination?

Hi I_am_I,

Cloud Connect cannot be used as a source for Backup Copy Jobs or Backup Move, so migrating backups this way is not supported.
Please work with your Cloud Connect provider to have your backups uploaded to your Wasabi bucket, or provided on physical storage so you can upload them yourself from your backup server.

Keep in mind that GFS tags cannot be retained and the current GFS retention will be lost.
Imported restore points mapped to a backup job will be processed with short-term retention.

Best,
Fabian
