Data Online Migration:Background information

Last Updated:Feb 04, 2024

This tutorial describes how to migrate data from Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) to Alibaba Cloud Object Storage Service (OSS). This version of the feature is discontinued. We recommend that you use the feature of the new version to migrate data.

Overview

Alibaba Cloud Data Online Migration provides a data migration channel between different storage services. Data Online Migration can be used to migrate data from third-party data stores to OSS or between OSS buckets.

To use Data Online Migration, you need to log on to the Data Transport console, specify information about the source and destination OSS buckets, and create a migration job. After the migration job starts, you can manage the job in the console. For example, you can view the progress and traffic information of the job. You can also generate a migration report to check the list of migrated files and the list of files that fail to be migrated.

Important

When you read data from the source data address during a migration job, you are charged for outbound Internet traffic by the storage service provider of the source data address.
