A low-level client representing AWS DataSync:
import boto3
client = boto3.client('datasync')
These are the available methods:
Check if an operation can be paginated.
Cancels execution of a task.
When you cancel a task execution, the transfer of some files are abruptly interrupted. The contents of files that are transferred to the destination might be incomplete or inconsistent with the source files. However, if you start a new task execution on the same task and you allow the task execution to complete, file content on the destination is complete and consistent. This applies to other unexpected failures that interrupt a task execution. In all of these cases, AWS DataSync successfully complete the transfer when you start the next task execution.

Activates an AWS DataSync agent that you have deployed on your host. The activation process associates your agent with your account. In the activation process, you specify information such as the AWS Region that you want to activate the agent in. You activate the agent in the AWS Region where your target locations (in Amazon S3 or Amazon EFS) reside. Your tasks are created in this AWS Region.
You can activate the agent in a VPC (Virtual private Cloud) or provide the agent access to a VPC endpoint so you can run tasks without going over the public Internet.
You can use an agent for more than one location. If a task uses multiple agents, all of them need to have status AVAILABLE for the task to run. If you use multiple agents for a source location, the status of all the agents must be AVAILABLE for the task to run.
Agents are automatically updated by AWS on a regular basis, using a mechanism that ensures minimal interruption to your tasks.

Your agent activation key. You can get the activation key either by sending an HTTP GET request with redirects that enable you to get the agent IP address (port 80). Alternatively, you can get it from the AWS DataSync console.
The redirect URL returned in the response provides you the activation key for your agent in the query string parameter activationKey . It might also include other activation-related parameters; however, these are merely defaults. The arguments you pass to this API call determine the actual configuration of your agent.
For more information, see Activating an Agent in the AWS DataSync User Guide.
The key-value pair that represents the tag that you want to associate with the agent. The value can be an empty string. This value helps you manage, filter, and search for your agents.

The ID of the VPC (Virtual Private Cloud) endpoint that the agent has access to. This is the client-side VPC endpoint, also called a PrivateLink. If you don't have a PrivateLink VPC endpoint, see Creating a VPC Endpoint Service Configuration in the AWS VPC User Guide.
VPC endpoint ID looks like this: vpce-01234d5aff67890e1 .
The Amazon Resource Names (ARNs) of the subnets in which DataSync will create elastic network interfaces for each data transfer task. The agent that runs a task must be private. When you start a task that is associated with an agent created in a VPC, or one that has access to an IP address in a VPC, then the task is also private. In this case, DataSync creates four network interfaces for each task in your subnet. For a data transfer to work, the agent must be able to route to all these four network interfaces.
The ARNs of the security groups used to protect your data transfer task subnets. See CreateAgentRequest$SubnetArns .

[REQUIRED]
The subdirectory in the NFS file system that is used to read data from the NFS source location or write data to the NFS destination. The NFS path should be a path that's exported by the NFS server, or a subdirectory of that path. The path should be such that it can be mounted by other NFS clients in your network.
To see all the paths exported by your NFS server. run "showmount -e nfs-server-name " from an NFS client that has access to your server. You can specify any directory that appears in the results, and any subdirectory of that directory. Ensure that the NFS export is accessible without Kerberos authentication.
To transfer all the data in the folder you specified, DataSync needs to have permissions to read all the data. To ensure this, either configure the NFS export with no_root_squash, or ensure that the permissions for all of the files that you want DataSync allow read access for all users. Doing either enables the agent to read the files. For the agent to access directories, you must additionally enable all execute access.
For information about NFS export configuration, see 18.7. The /etc/exports Configuration File in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux documentation.
[REQUIRED]
The name of the NFS server. This value is the IP address or Domain Name Service (DNS) name of the NFS server. An agent that is installed on-premises uses this host name to mount the NFS server in a network.
Note
This name must either be DNS-compliant or must be an IP version 4 (IPv4) address.

Note
Subdirectory must be specified with forward slashes. For example /path/to/folder .
To transfer all the data in the folder you specified, DataSync needs to have permissions to mount the SMB share, as well as to access all the data in that share. To ensure this, either ensure that the user/password specified belongs to the user who can mount the share, and who has the appropriate permissions for all of the files and directories that you want DataSync to access, or use credentials of a member of the Backup Operators group to mount the share. Doing either enables the agent to access the data. For the agent to access directories, you must additionally enable all execute access.
[REQUIRED]
The name of the SMB server. This value is the IP address or Domain Name Service (DNS) name of the SMB server. An agent that is installed on-premises uses this hostname to mount the SMB server in a network.

Creates a task. A task is a set of two locations (source and destination) and a set of Options that you use to control the behavior of a task. If you don't specify Options when you create a task, AWS DataSync populates them with service defaults.
When you create a task, it first enters the CREATING state. During CREATING AWS DataSync attempts to mount the on-premises Network File System (NFS) location. The task transitions to the AVAILABLE state without waiting for the AWS location to become mounted. If required, AWS DataSync mounts the AWS location before each task execution.
If an agent that is associated with a source (NFS) location goes offline, the task transitions to the UNAVAILABLE status. If the status of the task remains in the CREATING status for more than a few minutes, it means that your agent might be having trouble mounting the source NFS file system. Check the task's ErrorCode and ErrorDetail. Mount issues are often caused by either a misconfigured firewall or a mistyped NFS server host name.

For more information about how to use CloudWatch Logs with DataSync, see Monitoring Your Task in the AWS DataSync User Guide.
The set of configuration options that control the behavior of a single execution of the task that occurs when you call StartTaskExecution . You can configure these options to preserve metadata such as user ID (UID) and group ID (GID), file permissions, data integrity verification, and so on.
For each individual task execution, you can override these options by specifying the OverrideOptions before starting a the task execution. For more information, see the operation.
A value that determines whether a data integrity verification should be performed at the end of a task execution after all data and metadata have been transferred.
Default value: POINT_IN_TIME_CONSISTENT.
POINT_IN_TIME_CONSISTENT: Perform verification (recommended).
ONLY_FILES_TRANSFERRED: Perform verification on only files that were transferred.
NONE: Skip verification.
A value that determines whether files at the destination should be overwritten or preserved when copying files. If set to NEVER a destination file will not be replaced by a source file, even if the destination file differs from the source file. If you modify files in the destination and you sync the files, you can use this value to protect against overwriting those changes.
Some storage classes have specific behaviors that can affect your S3 storage cost. For detailed information, see using-storage-classes in the AWS DataSync User Guide .
A file metadata value that shows the last time a file was accessed (that is, when the file was read or written to). If you set Atime to BEST_EFFORT, DataSync attempts to preserve the original Atime attribute on all source files (that is, the version before the PREPARING phase). However, Atime 's behavior is not fully standard across platforms, so AWS DataSync can only do this on a best-effort basis.
Default value: BEST_EFFORT.
BEST_EFFORT: Attempt to preserve the per-file Atime value (recommended).
NONE: Ignore Atime .
Note
If Atime is set to BEST_EFFORT, Mtime must be set to PRESERVE.
If Atime is set to NONE, Mtime must also be NONE.
A value that indicates the last time that a file was modified (that is, a file was written to) before the PREPARING phase.
Default value: PRESERVE.
PRESERVE: Preserve original Mtime (recommended)
NONE: Ignore Mtime .
Note
If Mtime is set to PRESERVE, Atime must be set to BEST_EFFORT.
If Mtime is set to NONE, Atime must also be set to NONE.
The user ID (UID) of the file's owner.
Default value: INT_VALUE. This preserves the integer value of the ID.
INT_VALUE: Preserve the integer value of UID and group ID (GID) (recommended).
NONE: Ignore UID and GID.
The group ID (GID) of the file's owners.
Default value: INT_VALUE. This preserves the integer value of the ID.
INT_VALUE: Preserve the integer value of user ID (UID) and GID (recommended).
NONE: Ignore UID and GID.
A value that specifies whether files in the destination that don't exist in the source file system should be preserved. This option can affect your storage cost. If your task deletes objects, you might incur minimum storage duration charges for certain storage classes. For detailed information, see using-storage-classes in the AWS DataSync User Guide .
Default value: PRESERVE.
PRESERVE: Ignore such destination files (recommended).
REMOVE: Delete destination files that aren’t present in the source.
A value that determines whether AWS DataSync should preserve the metadata of block and character devices in the source file system, and recreate the files with that device name and metadata on the destination.
Note
AWS DataSync can't sync the actual contents of such devices, because they are nonterminal and don't return an end-of-file (EOF) marker.
Default value: NONE.
NONE: Ignore special devices (recommended).
PRESERVE: Preserve character and block device metadata. This option isn't currently supported for Amazon EFS.
A value that determines which users or groups can access a file for a specific purpose such as reading, writing, or execution of the file.
Default value: PRESERVE.
PRESERVE: Preserve POSIX-style permissions (recommended).
NONE: Ignore permissions.
Note
AWS DataSync can preserve extant permissions of a source location.
A value that limits the bandwidth used by AWS DataSync. For example, if you want AWS DataSync to use a maximum of 1 MB, set this value to 1048576 (=1024*1024 ).
A value that determines whether tasks should be queued before executing the tasks. If set to ENABLED , the tasks will be queued. The default is ENABLED .
If you use the same agent to run multiple tasks you can enable the tasks to run in series. For more information see queue-task-execution .
A value that determines the type of logs DataSync will deliver to your AWS CloudWatch Logs file. If set to OFF , no logs will be delivered. BASIC will deliver a few logs per transfer operation and TRANSFER will deliver a verbose log that contains logs for every file that is transferred.
A list of filter rules that determines which files to exclude from a task. The list should contain a single filter string that consists of the patterns to exclude. The patterns are delimited by "|" (that is, a pipe), for example, "/folder1|/folder2"
Specifies which files, folders and objects to include or exclude when transferring files from source to destination.
The type of filter rule to apply. AWS DataSync only supports the SIMPLE_PATTERN rule type.
A single filter string that consists of the patterns to include or exclude. The patterns are delimited by "|" (that is, a pipe), for example: /folder1|/folder2
Specifies a schedule used to periodically transfer files from a source to a destination location. The schedule should be specified in UTC time. For more information, see task-scheduling .
A cron expression that specifies when AWS DataSync initiates a scheduled transfer from a source to a destination location.
The key-value pair that represents the tag that you want to add to the resource. The value can be an empty string.

A file metadata value that shows the last time a file was accessed (that is, when the file was read or written to). If you set Atime to BEST_EFFORT, DataSync attempts to preserve the original Atime attribute on all source files (that is, the version before the PREPARING phase). However, Atime 's behavior is not fully standard across platforms, so AWS DataSync can only do this on a best-effort basis.
Default value: BEST_EFFORT.
BEST_EFFORT: Attempt to preserve the per-file Atime value (recommended).
NONE: Ignore Atime .
Note
If Atime is set to BEST_EFFORT, Mtime must be set to PRESERVE.
If Atime is set to NONE, Mtime must also be NONE.
A value that indicates the last time that a file was modified (that is, a file was written to) before the PREPARING phase.
Default value: PRESERVE.
PRESERVE: Preserve original Mtime (recommended)
NONE: Ignore Mtime .
Note
If Mtime is set to PRESERVE, Atime must be set to BEST_EFFORT.
If Mtime is set to NONE, Atime must also be set to NONE.

Default value: INT_VALUE. This preserves the integer value of the ID.
INT_VALUE: Preserve the integer value of UID and group ID (GID) (recommended).
NONE: Ignore UID and GID.
The group ID (GID) of the file's owners.
Default value: INT_VALUE. This preserves the integer value of the ID.
INT_VALUE: Preserve the integer value of user ID (UID) and GID (recommended).
NONE: Ignore UID and GID.
A value that specifies whether files in the destination that don't exist in the source file system should be preserved. This option can affect your storage cost. If your task deletes objects, you might incur minimum storage duration charges for certain storage classes. For detailed information, see using-storage-classes in the AWS DataSync User Guide .
Default value: PRESERVE.
PRESERVE: Ignore such destination files (recommended).
REMOVE: Delete destination files that aren’t present in the source.
A value that determines whether AWS DataSync should preserve the metadata of block and character devices in the source file system, and recreate the files with that device name and metadata on the destination.
Note
AWS DataSync can't sync the actual contents of such devices, because they are nonterminal and don't return an end-of-file (EOF) marker.
Default value: NONE.
NONE: Ignore special devices (recommended).
PRESERVE: Preserve character and block device metadata. This option isn't currently supported for Amazon EFS.
A value that determines which users or groups can access a file for a specific purpose such as reading, writing, or execution of the file.
Default value: PRESERVE.
PRESERVE: Preserve POSIX-style permissions (recommended).
NONE: Ignore permissions.
Note
AWS DataSync can preserve extant permissions of a source location.
A value that limits the bandwidth used by AWS DataSync. For example, if you want AWS DataSync to use a maximum of 1 MB, set this value to 1048576 (=1024*1024 ).
A value that determines whether tasks should be queued before executing the tasks. If set to ENABLED , the tasks will be queued. The default is ENABLED .
If you use the same agent to run multiple tasks you can enable the tasks to run in series. For more information see queue-task-execution .
A value that determines the type of logs DataSync will deliver to your AWS CloudWatch Logs file. If set to OFF , no logs will be delivered. BASIC will deliver a few logs per transfer operation and TRANSFER will deliver a verbose log that contains logs for every file that is transferred.
A list of filter rules that determines which files to include when running a task. The pattern should contain a single filter string that consists of the patterns to include. The patterns are delimited by "|" (that is, a pipe). For example: "/folder1|/folder2"
Specifies which files, folders and objects to include or exclude when transferring files from source to destination.
The type of filter rule to apply. AWS DataSync only supports the SIMPLE_PATTERN rule type.
A single filter string that consists of the patterns to include or exclude. The patterns are delimited by "|" (that is, a pipe), for example: /folder1|/folder2

Represents the options that are available to control the behavior of a StartTaskExecution operation. Behavior includes preserving metadata such as user ID (UID), group ID (GID), and file permissions, and also overwriting files in the destination, data integrity verification, and so on.
A task has a set of default options associated with it. If you don't specify an option in StartTaskExecution , the default value is used. You can override the defaults options on each task execution by specifying an overriding Options value to StartTaskExecution .
A value that determines whether a data integrity verification should be performed at the end of a task execution after all data and metadata have been transferred.
Default value: POINT_IN_TIME_CONSISTENT.
POINT_IN_TIME_CONSISTENT: Perform verification (recommended).
ONLY_FILES_TRANSFERRED: Perform verification on only files that were transferred.
NONE: Skip verification.
A value that determines whether files at the destination should be overwritten or preserved when copying files. If set to NEVER a destination file will not be replaced by a source file, even if the destination file differs from the source file. If you modify files in the destination and you sync the files, you can use this value to protect against overwriting those changes.
