Is it possible to save the full backup and oplogs on the same host where the `pbm backup` running  
Because sometimes I want to recover to the other mongo cluster, but not the original mongo cluster.

Hello, at this time you can only save the backup to S3-compatible storage or NFS.

Thank you.  
Yes, seems if we want to restore the backups to other environments, we have to use remote backup storage like S3-compatible storage or NFS
