Online Data Import Function of Console

When users are ready to use Baidu AI Cloud BOS, they often need to migrate data from other cloud storage to Baidu AI Cloud BOS. If the amount of data migrated is large, the traditional manual migration method of "Download and Upload" is often time-consuming and laborious, and it is difficult to meet the business requirements of rapid migration of users.

Therefore, BOS provides online data import function for the vast number of users. Users only need to configure the import rules, and the system will automatically grab data from the source directory and store it to the designated path on BOS, thus greatly improving the migration efficiency of business data.

The online data import function needs to be operated on the BOS console. For specific operations and precautions, please refer to: Online Data Import

Incremental Data

Photo Forward-to-origin

Photo forward-to-origin is a bucket-level configuration, which is mainly used to help users to carry out data hot migration without stopping service and solve the problem of incremental data migration from other clouds to BOS.

After a bucket is configured with photo forward-to-origin, when the user accesses an object in a BOS and the BOS finds that the object does not exist in the BOS, the BOS will request the object to the forward-to-origin address and store the data returned by the source station into the BOS while returning to the requesting user.
