AWS Storage Gateway adds console support for copying file shares across gateways

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. This new capability automates the transfer of configurations, significantly reducing the time and effort required for migrations such as upgrading to AL2023. A guided experience highlights any configurations that require attention before the new share is created, helping ensure a smooth transition without missing critical settings. This feature is available in commercial AWS Regions. For more information, visit the AWS Storage Gateway User Guide.
