Is there a reason you can't simply back up /Storage?

Oh, simple: it is 80+TB of (uncompressable) data, so a full can cost (opn a
single LTO9 tape) some weeks of backup... and the same tape is needed to do
some other day-by-day backups.

I still think that if these are year-at-a-time folders that never change once the new one has been created, your obvious solution is to back them up as *separate jobs* for each annual folder. You can do incrementals and periodic VirtualFull backup jobs over the course of the year, then when the folder gets replaced, do one final Full backup of THAT FOLDER ONLY on a separate tape, mark it as an archive, write-protect the tape, and set it aside somewhere safe.

(A VirtualFull backup uses the contents of previous Full, Differential and Incremental jobs to create a "synthetic" full backup that you can restore from as a single job, without re-backing up all of the data again.)
