Store backups in cloud storage

What is a one sentence summary of your feature request?

Implement the capability to store backups in cloud storage such as Azure or AWS

Please describe your idea in detail. What is your problem, why do you feel this idea is the best solution, etc.

Storage of backups being on-premise requires them to be governed much more strictly and leaves them susceptible to ransomware and other on-premise threats that could compromise their functionality. Allowing for the storage to more-secure-by-default cloud repositories can limit some of the overhead with managing and governing the backups on-premise.

How do you currently solve the challenges you have by not having this feature?

There is no way to handle this today without manually or writing a script to copy the backups to a remote location after they have been tacking.

Storing forest backups in cloud storage definitely makes sense. This is an enhancement we’ll look to make in the future.
