The sync agent might still work if there are no overlapping buckets.
You'll need to add both clusters as zones in the same region, create a
system user that will exist on both, and set the agent to do a full
sync from A to B. The only thing I'm not sure is whether the sync
agent will try to remove stuff from B as it doesn't exist on A. I
don't think it'll do it, but it's better be safe than be sorry. Josh,
do you see an issue there?
