There's also the issue of her soul, which you can't just upload wirelessly. I think it could. Since we don't have AI similar to Penny yet, the closest I could find was estimates on a human brain itself, which is estimated at maximum to have a memory capacity of 2.5 petabytes (2,500 terabytes and 2,500,000 gigabytes). I'll use this as the minimum required for Penny's memory. This is definitely feasible in our world to have this much data be stored in a data server center, meaning it is very feasible for a military like Atlas, who are already technologically advanced compared to the rest of Remnant.

Of course I will say, I don't expect synthetic Huntsmen to overtake human Huntsmen immediately, it would likely take a long process taking years.

While we don't know the exact logistics, Penny's soul may be derived from her sentience (a few definitions of soul imply that mental abilities and consciousness is what is needed for a soul) that gives her the ability to generate her aura, which would be uploaded with her backups. If it's not the software, then her aura may be generated from her hardware (i.e. her body) which would likely be built into her new body.
