Feature request: Extend backing up Veeam ZIP backups functionality

[Tecbil]

Veeam Backup & Replication has currently its limitations when it comes into backing up Veeam ZIP backups.
This results in not being able to add:

• Veeam ZIP backups to tape

• Veeam ZIP backups to Backup Copy Jobs

We are aware of backing up Veeam ZIP backups via "Files to tape" backup, but this results in not being able to add everything into a single tape job. We have a couple of archived VMs backed up via Veeam ZIP in a dedicated repository and we would like to just add the whole repository to a tape job, which is currently not possible because of those limitations which, it's just showing a size of "0 B":

Same goes for adding Veeam ZIP backup repositories to Backup Copy Jobs.

Thank you for considering.

Hello Tecbil,

Can you please share why you use VeeamZip instead of regular backup jobs? Both backup to tape and backup copy jobs operate at a job level and in order to process the backup with those secondary jobs you can create a one-time backup job and resulting backups will be processed regularly. Thank you for the feedback!
