The key to the transition is that the eventual mechanism saves all files uploaded to Artifactory locally in the _pre then _queue folders inside of the $JFROG_HOME/artifactory/data/artifactory/eventual directory. Read more about this here.

When Artifactory establishes a connection to the cloud provider it will transfer the binaries there and remove them from the _queue directory. If we change our binarystore.xml file to the new template whilst binaries remain in the _queue directory, these binaries will never make it to the cloud storage provider.
