copy backup data from a Dell Data Domain DD6400 to AWS S3
I am attempting to copy backup data from a Dell Data Domain DD6400 to AWS S3. I’ve seen options for a "move copy policy," but I need a "copy policy" to create an additional copy. Can anyone confirm if it’s possible to configure a copy policy specifically for copying data from Data Domain to S3?

you might wanna have a closer look at DD Cloud Tier as it is not a copy, but rather offloading of long term retention data into the cloud. Only meta data is kept locally.

If you want to have actual copies, then might wanna introduce a 2nd DD instance, for example a 2nd one as virtual DD (DDVE) in the cloud and then replicate data from on-prem to the DDVE into the cloud, ideally controlled by the backup application so that it is aware of the copies, like with Networker CCR (clone controlled replication).
Also what would a copy actually mean if it is still under the control of only one DD instance? If that instance is compromised/affected, all data would become unavailable.
