Automatic backup outside Atlas
For DR strategy, one need to have its backups outside Atlas.
This can be achieved in several ways. Some are:
- Provide APIs to download the current backups and let the customers automate this on their side
- Write backups in the customer provided cloud account (aws s3, azure blob stroage...) My favorite option
I found many ideas related to my needs, but they were too specific. This need is more general: just provide a way to have backups automatically outside of atlas.

Hi Hicham, You can download backups via API, see the download option under https://docs.atlas.mongodb.com/reference/api/cloud-backup/restore/create-one-restore-job/
