Description

Configures a transfer task, which defines where and how DataSync moves your data. A task includes a source location, destination location, and the options for how and when you want to transfer your data (such as bandwidth limits, scheduling, among other options). If you're planning to transfer data to or from an Amazon S3 location, review how DataSync can affect your S3 request charges and the DataSync pricing page before you begin.
