Seeding huge data over the wire to any cloud platform is not a feasible task to do for a initial full backup. Overcoming this issue can be done by Import/Export feature and Vembu OnlineBackup supports it with Amazon AWS Import/Export service.

AWS Import/Export accelerates moving large amounts of data in and out of AWS cloud servers using portable/external storage devices for transport. Amazon transfers your data directly to our Vembu OnlineBackup server using Amazon’s high-speed internal network and bypassing the Internet. For significant data sets, AWS Import/Export is often faster than Internet transfer and more cost effective than upgrading your connectivity.
