AWS Storage Gateway now allows you to copy file shares across gateways directly from the Storage Gateway console. When you initiate a copy, the console reads the configuration of your source share and creates a new file share on the destination gateway with compatible settings preserved.
Previously, you had to manually recreate each file share on the destination gateway and re-enter configuration details one by one. Now you can copy a file share and have its configuration automatically applied to a destination gateway, significantly reducing the time and effort required for migrations such as upgrading to AL2023. A guided experience surfaces any configurations that require your attention before the new share is created, helping ensure a smooth transition without missing critical settings.
To get started, navigate to your file shares in the Storage Gateway console, select a share, and choose Copy to gateway. This capability is available in commercial AWS Regions. To check regional availability, see AWS Capabilities. For more information, visit the AWS Storage Gateway User Guide.
