Would it be possible to have a cron job automatically migrate the backup
IPs in some fashion? One way it could work is have a weekly job which
checks if customers are using their new IP address: the first time it
gets a positive hit for a customer it then emails/alerts them to let
them know their backups will migrate in (say) two week's time, and
providing it gets positive hits on sebsequent runs it then does the
migration at the specified time. If a customer needs more time they
could raise a ticket to opt-out of the automatic migration (or opt back
in at some later point, perhaps). Thoughts?
