VMware vSphere • Copy backup files to hardened repository

We have recently installed a new repository server, using the Veeam iso.
Moving normal backup jobs was easy with Move backup wizard.
But the backups from a copy job do not have the move option.
When trying to perform the move through changing the repository in the job, it says 'Moving backups created by legacy backup copy jobs is not supported,...'
and it wants to start with a new full backup.

I would be OK with starting a new chain, but still need the old backups as well, since this is our archive, holding backups from the last 5 years.
How do i get these old backup to the hardened repo?
I do not have direct file system access, since it is a hardened server.
