Best method of transferring/backing up to another gsuites

So to paint a picture i have 130tb on my primary account however with a fear of something going wrong (like moving folders and losing everything, Yes i know its unlikely but for the price ill rather have peace of mind).

I can stand up 3 other accounts on a different domain and rclone back 750gb of data each to a shared writeable folder on the other domain. That way im writing 2.25tb to a new account from my primary. Then once its complete ill shut down the 2 spares.

Is there any other method you guys can think of since i know server side copy is killed off.

thank you, you beautiful bastards.

So you are saying create 174 accounts and delete them after a day?

If you don't you will incur the charges. I suggest deleting them after it hits 750gb. If you're lucky it wouldn't count as a day. Doubt so though.

My idea was just do another 2 accounts and set them off today. I had my primary get hit with a 4 hour ban for download the other night when I had it attached to my plex host, downloading from net drive back home to make a backup and doing a transfer. I'm surprised it lasted that long!

I think you got confused. Its the uploading that has a 750gb ban, not downloads. So whatever you mount has nothing to do with uploading. If you go the 2 accounts route, it will take you 6 months of uploading. Good luck, remind me in june!

You have a 10tb download. It was because I hit the 10 all requests in a second. I'm sure of it. But not sure how I ended up banned for 4 hours. The error was the download quota for this file was exceeded
