Off-site Backup Destination Unmanageable
SSR2013 R2 on WINDOWS 10. Not available in the dropdown... Really need some help here folks. I have a backup job that's been working well and has been configured to copy recovery points to a nas-s...

Could you manage the off-site destination in the past?
No. This has always plagued me. I've even gone as far as deleting the entire backup job, uninstalling SSR and reinstalling from scratch. I'm firmly convinced this is a bug.
I've even moved all the offsite backups into the directory SSR shows as the destination and that too has no effect. The app doesn't manage offsite locations despite configuration.
But I have to pay veritas to show them the undocumented feature. Crazy! And completely stuck with an out of control growing offsite backup!

OK, just to make sure: You're running 2013R2 SP6?
- Yup...
Sorry for late reply on this ..
This is actually 'by design'. Whilst the offsite location is listed, it does not allow for any sort of management. And before you say it, I agree with you; it is NOT clear in the console that this is the case. My opinion is that it should either not be listed at all or there should be some note in the console that explains this.
The reason for this is that the offsite location should be a replica of what you have on your primary backup destination, there should be no need to do manual management. For you, it sounds like investigation is needed in order to understand why your offsite location is not in sync with the primary.
Hope this helps in some way.
