Selective snapshot/VMID sync

I'm wondering if I'm the only person looking for such a feature or not:

The requirement is that some critical clients have longer data retention and extra offsite backup requirements, so I was hoping to find a quick fix to setup a remote PBS that will sync only those selective VMID groups from a datastore.

I guess the current solution is to create a separate datastore/api-tokens for those VMIDs that needs extra care?
The problem with that is that i would require a 2nd/3rd backup job - and it is quite difficult to schedule these multiple backup jobs given the VMs migrate a bit and then I have backup-jobs failing as the first is suddenly is taking just too long :(

The problem is that PVE doesn't have a nice "schedule these backups jobs at 19:30, with this job the highest priority, and when it's done, continue with the next backup job", else the multiple backup jobs would not be a problem
