FSx to S3 and S3 to FSx

Question

Hi AWS, is it possible to transfer data from FSx to S3 and S3 to FSx cross account? I need to know the steps required to do if it's possible. This is an extension to the question: https://repost.aws/questions/QUo5mKmMh7QCyJ8BrOLk_9DQ/fsx-to-s3-cross-account

If there is any automation script available can you please help me with that as well.

Answer

I think the best way to do that is with DataSync, see [here](https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2020/01/aws-datasync-transfer-data-to-and-from-amazon-fsx-windows-file-server/).

[This other answer](https://repost.aws/questions/QU8D3iAiS-RQWNspSM9ezniA/move-files-from-s3-to-fsx-for-windows) confirms it.

The configuration can be found:
* [Here](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/datasync/latest/userguide/create-s3-location.html) for S3
* [Here](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/datasync/latest/userguide/create-fsx-location.html) for FSx for Windows
