Transition tiers can be added to MinIO using `mc admin tier add` command to associate a `gcs`, `s3` or `azure` bucket or prefix path on a bucket to the tier name.

source is newer than the `null` version of object on target.

If the remote site is fully lost and objects previously replicated need to be re-synced, the `mc replicate resync start` command with optional flag of `--older-than` needs to be used to trigger re-syncing of previously replicated objects. This command generates a ResetID which is a unique UUID saved to the remote target config along with the applicable date(defaults to time of initiating the reset). All objects created prior to this...

available, let's say for example if there are 32 servers and 32 drives which is a total of 1024 drives. In this scenario 16 becomes the erasure set size. This is decided based on the greatest common divisor (GCD) of acceptable erasure set sizes ranging from *4 to 16*.

- *If total drives has many common divisors the algorithm chooses the minimum amounts of erasure sets possible for a erasure set size of any N*.  In the example with 1024 drives - 4, 8, 16 are GCD factors. With 16 drives we get...
