We did a Snowball transfer of 150TB (mostly media files) from our on prem DC. Cost is one thing we really failed to plan on. You're charged per day you have the snowball (in our case 3 for 2 separate DCs). During the transfer, the AWS sync constantly failed due to random issues which drove up the total time to transfer the files. Something like having a tilde (~) in the filename will totally break the sync. You really need to keep track of where it failed. We were constantly trying to craft additional rules into our sync logic to catch the 'gotchas'. Another point you alluded to was the Etag/MD5sum that's stored in AWS. Pretty useful if you know how to use it... |
