Secondary storage repository for archived data

In archiving documentation it is mentioned that “Important: You cannot use a different file storage repository for applications that run in Pega Cloud deployments.”

Why does Pega Cloud not allow using a premise repository as secondary storage for archived data? Considering the policy restrictions on keeping archived cases in Pega S3, what are the alternative solutions to move the data to a premise file storage or database?

@CHRISTIN Did you yet find a solution for custom storage rather than using Pega S3? Please let me know.

@NikhilA17 I’ve received a response from the Pega support team, and they’ve confirmed that starting from version 8.8.4, Pega supports custom storage.
