Worker Instances

If you want initial full backups to be processed quickly, it is recommended that you use a larger worker instance profile, and then change it to a smaller profile for incremental backup. You can change worker instance profile settings on a regional basis, so make sure that the worker instance size is appropriate to process the largest workload within the required time.

Each worker instance is deployed as an amzn-linux-v2 image, and the binaries are downloaded from the connected S3 bucket. Instance types of worker instances sizes depend on the total EBS volume size.
