Migration and Transfer

AWS DataSync

AWS DataSync accelerates online movement of files and objects between on-premises storage and AWS storage services. It can seed or refresh a large RAG corpus while preserving selected metadata and verifying transferred data.

Key points

Agents connect supported on-premises storage to the service
Tasks schedule transfer, filtering, verification, and bandwidth limits
Incremental runs copy detected changes rather than every byte

When to use it

Migrate a network file share into an S3 knowledge source
Refresh model artifacts from on-premises storage on a controlled schedule

Exam tips

Choose DataSync for managed bulk online transfer and Transfer Family for partner-facing file protocols
A successful byte transfer does not validate document classification or permission mapping
