Proxmox Backup Storage Alternative to Chunked Storage

I would like to know if there is alternative storage of backups using the Proxmox Backup Server where the backups of all VMs aren't lumped together in the .chunk folder.

I'm coming from an environment where backups were created by Acronis or Veeam, and the repository is broken down by the VM names and backup files. The structure makes it easier to identify backups, and if replicated to an offsite blob, it enables the individual retrieval of VM backup vs. downloading the entire chuck data.

Is there another alternative to the Backup Server if it cannot individualize the backups in a folder-like structure? My goal is to backup and replicate the backups to Blob storage for offsite purposes.
 
No. All is based on deduplicated chunks. If you want individual backup archives/images of VMs you could use PVEs VZDump. But then without essential features like incremental backups.
