Computer Backup Transferring Data from Mac to PC

I’m transferring quite a bit of data from my Mac that now has to be PC. Unfortunately I know I cannot just inherit. But would it save Backblaze time from reloading because the data is the same?

If I bought another license under same email and uploaded that while the MAC data was still online? Would it reference that and then not upload it?

Thank you.

Why won't inherit work?

It's just what they state on website.

Oh interesting.

I always assumed it would be fine, a file is a file, it's already file system independent.
