Offload interval/timing

Post by backupquestions »

If I have a handful of large fileservers that need to have their GFS points aged out to S3 object storage... It is going to take quite a while to get those initial ones up there, while the following ones will be quick. So with that in mind, do these offload jobs run on an interval similar to Veeam Cloud Connect, or do they just run for however long is required to get the restore point to object storage (minus the dehydrated shell file left on prem)

My concern is since we are talking like say 5 servers each with a 3TB vbk that needs to age out so it's going to take weeks to do this etc. I don't want the offload jobs failing all the time and am hoping that it can be either told to take however long it needs without a fail, or that it just runs all the time in the background until finally done etc?
