Tape Gateway - Understanding upload buffer

Hi,
The Tape Gateway stops uploading to AWS during the "Pass Through" state.
Here are the Tape Gateway state transitions that occur when your Upload Buffer is set too low and the Upload Buffer runs out of capacity.

state: "Available" - normal tape gateway operations
state: "Pass Through" - when the upload buffer runs out of capacity (normally because the Upload Buffer is set too low). During this phase NO data is uploaded to AWS and the data currently in the Upload Buffer is processed going from 100% to 0%. During the Pass Through status, the data maintained locally becomes out of sync with AWS stored data.
state: "Bootstrapping" - the volume re-establishes synchronization with in AWS, so that it can resume the record (log) of changes to the volume, and re-enable CreateSnapshot functionality. During Bootstrapping, writes to the volume are recorded in upload buffer.
state: "Available" - normal tape gateway operations

Hope this helps.
