Transferring Data with a Snowball
When locally transferring data between a Snowball and your on-premises data center, you can use the
Amazon S3 Adapter for Snowball or the Snowball client:
• Snowball client (p. 52) – A standalone terminal application that you run on your local workstation
to do your data transfer. You don't need any coding knowledge to use the Snowball client. It provides
all the functionality you need to transfer data, including handling errors and writing logs to your local
workstation for troubleshooting and auditing.
• Amazon S3 Adapter for Snowball (p. 65) – A tool that transfers data programmatically using a
subset of the Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) REST API, including support for AWS
Command Line Interface (AWS CLI) commands and the Amazon S3 SDKs.
Note
If you're performing a petabyte-scale data transfer, we recommend that you read How to
Transfer Petabytes of Data Efficiently (p. 36) before you create your first job.
