QoS for transferring database files

Hello network friends,

We have this 10gig metro-e circuit that is a backup of connecting our 2 sites - site A and site B. This circuit also gets used for copying large DB files between these 2 sites. so my point is that this 10gig circuit never really gets used unless the primary circuit goes down or we need to copy a large file between the 2 sites. Coming up soon is the latter - they would like to copy a 2TB DB file using this 10 gig circuit between the 2 sites. I'm being told that last time the speeds were very slow, so put QoS on it. Now I'm wondering, is their any point of even putting in place QoS policies, if it's only being used to copy this DB file?

I can't see the point when the circuit is not being used for anything else to prioritize these DB files over general traffic. Is anyone here in a similar situation. Thank you for your feedback

btw, these are nexus 9ks connecting the circuit at each site if that makes a difference.
