Yes but from here:

https://pgbackrest.org/user-guide-rhel.html#s3-support

File creation time in S3 is relatively slow so backup/restore 
performance is improved by enabling file bundling.

Where file bundling is explained here:

https://pgbackrest.org/user-guide-rhel.html#backup/bundle

Though I don't think would help in this case.

I would say anything that does not use object storage and instead uses 
block storage, so you are not doing the conversion. I have no specific 
recommendations as this is not something I do, archive to the cloud.
