initial pile up of offloads?

[theviking84]

Imaging you set up a new SOBR and the full backup is lots of TB. It finishes on the performance tier, and then each day incrementals are running against that tier.

Now, the whole time sobr offloads are trying to offload the intitial full which takes weeks over 1gb internet.

During this time, will veeam still be able to eventually finish the initial full offload, and then go back and upload all the daily incremental data which is happening each day?

The offload tasks won't just pile up having hundreds of them and causing things to grind to a halt?

Should aws snowball be used to try to seed data and put into the bucket? What about if I'm using object lock api, still seedable? Is there a kb on seeding or some official steps?

I would honestly prefer not to try to seed and just let it all run even if it takes weeks, but want to be sure if this will all "catch up" eventually and be ok or not...

It will not "pile" up. The offload tasks will run until complete and then move anything else that is marked as tier able. Snowball edge is supported for tiering. Snowball edge does not support object lock at this moment but there is a method to enable it once it is seeded but it takes support case to AWS.

long story short...it will catch up

Awesome, thank you!
