      I tried to reply in the old topic, but was suggested to open new one.

      TL;DR
      How to move existing backups related to a backup job to new remote?

      I have couple of XO backup jobs - daily deltas, weekly deltas, monthly full - all unfortunately landing in the same NFS remote on TrueNAS.

      Now I would like to do a little clean up for further backing these backups to the cloud and be able, for example, more precisely define storage classes on S3. Simply keeping daily backups in daily share/remote, weekly in weekly, etc.

      I know I can edit jobs and set remotes. But can I easily move existing backups to respective remotes? Or if it's not possible do I need to keep original remote until all deltas will be deleted based on their retention?

      I would like to avoid manually looking into xo-vm-backups folder to figure out what and where to manually move 🙂

        Hi,

        I'm not sure to get it. Do you want to move them to S3 "directly"? Because S3 storage format for our backup isn't the same as for NFS.

          @olivierlambert I want to move them on NFS in order to be able to backup later from NFS to S3 in more granular way 🙂

          Generally, we are talking about XO - NFS. S3 would be out of XO.
