Creating a data repository task

You can create a data repository task by using the Amazon FSx console, CLI, or API. After you create a task, you can view the task's progress and status by using the console, CLI, or API.

You can create three types of data repository tasks:

• The Export data repository task exports from your Lustre file system to a linked S3 bucket. For more information, see Using data repository tasks to export changes.

• The Import data repository task imports from a linked S3 bucket to your Lustre file system. For more information, see Using data repository tasks to import changes.

• The Release data repository task releases files from your Lustre file system that have been exported to a linked S3 bucket. For more information, see Using data repository tasks to release files.
