Moving backups to and from CD/DVD/BD is not supported;
Moving backups from tape is not supported: tape can only be the final location;
The same folder cannot be used twice in the same backup plan;
Retention rules are effective if the archive contains more than one backup. The last backup in the archive will not be moved even if a retention rule violation is detected.
