# Jobs

A job is a piece of library-wide work that runs in the background: offloading everything, verifying everything, re-syncing, or bringing everything back to your server. You can close the page while it runs. Pause it, resume it where it stopped, or cancel it. What's already done stays done.

## The jobs

- **Offload everything** uploads and checks the files that aren't in your bucket yet.
- **Verify everything** checks that your cloud copies are there and complete, with no download.
- **Re-sync** syncs media items again.
- **Bring everything back to my server** downloads every file again and checks it. See [bring everything back](/docs/bring-everything-back).

**Jobs** shows the job running now and a history of past jobs, including problems they found.

## Pause, resume and cancel

Pausing and cancelling take effect after the media item in hand. A paused job resumes where it stopped. A provider outage pauses work too, without using up retries, and it continues by itself when the provider answers.

From WP-CLI, use `wp offloft job list`, `job pause`, `job resume` and `job cancel`.

## How work is paced

Work runs in small batches, 25 media items per background task by default, with up to 4 uploads at once for the sizes of one item. Both are in [settings](/docs/reference/settings).
