[Feature Request] Additional Copy Job Targets for Storage Snapshot Jobs

[thynes]

In our enviroment we leverage the backup from Storage Snapshot functionality to reduce load on the network and impact on production VMs, a little while ago you added the functionality to create a backup job which uses the storage snapshots as restore points (We're using Pure FlashArrays), which is great as it means all our recovery is orchestrated and centralised within VBR. However we now have two backup jobs, one for Storage Snapshot creation and one to write to our actual repos (HPE StoreOnces) for longer term retention.

It would be great to use the Storage Snapshot job as a target for a traditional copy job as it means there is a single source for the backup data for the entire chain. Simplifying our process.

Hello Tom

It would be great to use the Storage Snapshot job as a target for a traditional copy job

I assume you meant having a storage snapshot job (storage snapshot restore point) as a source for backup copy jobs?

"Storage snapshot" restore points don't use our native Veeam backup format. Therefore we cannot simply copy them to StoreOnce with a backup copy job.
We would have to create a "backup" first from machines on that storage snapshot.

Please let me know if I understood your request correctly. You want create a Veeam backup copy files on StoreOnce by using data from a "storage snapshot".

Best,
Fabian
