Change Azure snapshot backups from LRS to GRS

Sorry but this is a must. GRS is a 2 region datacenter backup, LRS only 1. Fire or disaster will take out everything if LRS is used.

    Hello, We recently released a feature that we call Snapshot Distribution which allows any Atlas user to copy their backups into additional cloud provider regions that are supported in Atlas. This allows you to store the backups in whatever region you prefer automatically. In the event of a disaster in a cloud provider region, Atlas will intelligently use a backup copy in an additional region for a restore. You can read more about this in this blog, https://www.mongodb.com/blog/post/introducing-snapshot-distribution-atlas , and our docs, https://www.mongodb.com/docs/atlas/backup/cloud-backup/scheduling/#configure-service-to-automatically-copy-snapshots-to-other-regions .

    If the Azure region supports it we use ZRS, not LRS. We are working on some other functionality in the future to give you choice on backup location.

    I totally agree with Benjamin on this subject. This functionality must be implemented to provide backup availability in the event of a disaster. We are starting to use Atlas in Azure Canada-Central and we are already using Azure SQL Database services with backup on this type of storage. Without it, we will have to copy the snapshot outside of Atlas. So this situation is not desirable. Best option is to be able to chose this feature. In development it could be acceptable but not in production with critical systems.
