Copying Backup Feature - Structure Transformation

[mamosorre84]

Hi all,

we know "Copying Backup" feature allows us to copy both primary and archive repositories to other repos.

It can also "transform" the structure of data from a source repository, for example nfs, to the target structure, for example object storage repo.

Is there a way to perform this "transormation" manually via powershell or similar? How does it work under the hood?!

The goal is to copy backups with a third party tool like Rclone to prevent the backup job from being disabled.

Regards

Copy / Move Backup (loosely) work like a normal Veeam job, using the Veeam datamover agents to perform the operation as well as the normal Veeam logic of interacting with different repositories (i.e., writing to an S3 repository)

You will not be able to script this with tools like rsync / rclone to mimic the Object Storage Repository structure, you will need to use Copy / Move backup.

Ok, thank you David
