The same retry logic is used regardless of whether
--asynchronous-upload is used or not. So whatever number of retries
would normally be attempted, will be attempted - but in the background.
(That said there is a bug that I unfortunately introduced which causes
failure to be reported too late; a patch is submitted and I presume
it'll be in the next release.)

No, that just means it fails immediately if the first attempt fails.

Normally, only a single volume is ever in the temp dir at the same
time. With --asynchronous-upload, up to two volumes may be in the
tempdir. In the future when concurrent upload is supported, up to n +
1, where n is the concurrency, volumes will be kept.
