- Worth noticing
- In its made-up bakery example, the search copy is listed as 142 MB versus 2.9 MB for the full copy; Spec says it has not yet measured a large account.
Field notes
The described sequence starts with read-only AWS access, fingerprints files during the initial copy, and then transfers only changes. A made-up bakery example gives separate figures for raw data, the full copy, and the larger search copy; the page also says large accounts have not yet been measured. Spec states that local copies are not encrypted by the product itself and recommends relying on the computer's disk encryption.
