Maybe it'll, maybe it won't, but it'll cycle all files in the drive and will stress everything from your cloud provider to Backblaze, incl. everything in between; software and hardware-wise.

That sounds very acceptable to get those files backed up.

It shouldn't stress things to spend a couple weeks relaying a terabyte in small chunks. The most likely strain is on my upload bandwidth and yeah that's the cost of cloud backup, more ISPs need to improve upload.
