A customer has 100TB of used capacity after efficiencies on an on-premises AFF volume.

In this scenario, the customer has 100TB of used capacity on an on-premises AFF volume, and 80% of the data is cold and tiered to Amazon S3 usingBlueXP tiering. After tiering, 80TB of cold data is tiered to Amazon S3, leaving 20TB of hot data on the AFF system. WhenBlueXP backup and recoveryperforms the first full backup, it backs up all the data (100TB). Since the backup is a full copy and independent of the tiering process, the total ingress traffic into AWS is80TB (tiered data) + 100TB (full backup), resulting in180TBof total ingress.
