Yes, this is lacking for sure.  We have this need as well (replication / 
backups from A to B and then send periodically what is on B to offsite / 
disconnected storage). Its something we grafted on after the fact to fit 
our needs and works OK'ish / well enough.  However, TBF, I havent looked 
at their documentation in a while to see if newer versions have this 
feature or if its on their roadmap.
