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.
