Data Migration and Backup

How to transfer content from Cloud Disk Server (CDS) to BOS?

Data stored on a CDS disk cannot be directly transferred to BOS but can be operated on the server where the CDS disk is mounted. For example, if the server operates on a Windows system, you can directly copy, paste and upload peripheral tools for installing BOS; Linux systems support the use of BOS CLI, access via API or SDK calling. For details of peripheral tools and BOS CLI, refer to BOS Peripheral Tools.

How to synchronize data from other cloud platforms to BOS?

If you stored a large amount of data on other cloud platforms and want to migrate to BOS, you can use Baidu AI Cloud's Data Migration Service. For details, please refer to data migration solution.

How to migrate resources from BOS to other buckets?

Rapid data movement between buckets under the same account is divided into the following two scenarios:

1. For buckets in different regions, you can create cross-region synchronization tasks. For details, please refer to [Set Data Synchronization](BOS/Console Operation Guide/Managing Bucket/Set data synchronization.md).
2. For the same region, you can use peripheral tools provided by BOS for replication, such as BOS CMD or BOS CLI. For details, please refer to BOS Peripheral Tools.

Is it possible to copy some data from the BOS to BOS under another account?

For cross-account data migration, you can use migration tools or configure an online migration task.

Does BOS currently support cross-account migration and backup of stored resources?

BOS supports cross-account resource migration and backup. Refer to Set Data Migration and Backup and proceed with operations in the console.

How to migrate data from a bucket to another account?

If you want to migrate data from a bucket to another account, the following two solutions are currently available for bucket data migration. (The target bucket needs to grant write permissions to the account where the original bucket resides.)

1. Configure cross-account bucket data migration and backup. After confirming the completion of data migration and backup, remember to cancel the data migration and backup to prevent the target bucket data from being deleted during the deletion of source bucket data

2. Use the sync command of the bcecmd tool to achieve bucket data migration and backup. For large data volumes, it is recommended to use the nohup command for backend execution.

How to migrate data from a bucket in Baoding, North China to a bucket in Beijing, North China?

BOS provides Data Migration and Backup Function, enabling automatic data migration and backup between two buckets in different regions to achieve data transfer purposes.

Specific steps:

1. Sign in to the Baidu AI Cloud Object Storage (BOS) Management Console.

2. In the bucket list on the left, select the bucket for which you want to adjust permission settings, then click its name to enter the bucket management directory.

3. Select the Configuration Management tab in the top navigation bar.

4. On the Configuration Managementpage, select Advanced Configuration, then click Add Configuration in the Data Synchronization Configuration region to configure data migration and backup for this bucket.

5. In the data synchronization configuration interface, select data migration and backup strategies, the objects for migration and backup, whether to migrate and back up historical data, the target regions for migration and backup, target buckets, and the desired storage class.

How to copy files between two buckets under the same BOS account, and which tool to use?

In Baidu AI Cloud Object Storage (BOS), data can be copied between different buckets using the following methods.

1. Use the Data Migration and Backup function provided by BOS, to migrate data of different accounts;

2. Use BOS peripheral tools, which offer certain cloud platform data migration methods, such as bos import, enabling cross-account migration of BOS resources.

How to perform external migration?

To migrate external resources to the Baidu AI Cloud Object Storage (BOS) service, follow the following approaches:

1. Use Online Import Method, provide task files corresponding to migration resources, and BOS will automatically capture and save data according to task rules;

2. Use bosimport, which currently supports migrating resources from different cloud platforms to the Baidu AI Cloud Object Storage (BOS) service, such as migrating from Alibaba Cloud OSS to Baidu AI Cloud Object Storage (BOS);

3. Develop by using BOS api / sdk, which can be integrated with your services for uploading service resources.

Does BOS service provide backup function?

The BOS service supports the backup function.

1. You can back up data from the bucket to other buckets. Please refer to bucket data migration and backup function;

2. Alternatively, enable the bucket trash function to automatically save deleted files in the bucket trash and recover data from the bucket trash. Refer to Bucket Trash Function

Can object copying be performed among different accounts?

BOS supports cross-account data copying, but you shall pay attention to the bucket permission (allowing the target account to perform operations)

1. Perform operations via the copyobject API. For details, refer to: CopyObject API;

2. For bucket data migration and backup, refer to: Set Data Migration and Backup.
