Physical backup with files that have reached remote storage limits

Description

The problem

Maximum size of AWS S3 object is 5TB so if trying uploading files larger than 5TB PBM fails with the EntityTooLarge error

Proposed solution

PBM should split the file on EntityTooLarge error, store this information in the metadata, and merge everything back during restore

Acceptance criteria

  • applies only on physical backups

  • need to have configuration parameter of the file size

QA and docs

  • need to have configuration parameter of the file size

Feedback from the customer to increase the prior: our primary cluster backing all tooling that supports all internal analysts, researchers, support engineers and executive staff won’t be regularly backed up to a location supported by our operations team. Getting a regular incremental backup set up with PBM is critical to us.

Shouldn’t the selective backup be used to split the size of the backup into separate buckets?
