DataSync SMB Location

Docs > DDSQL Reference > Data Directory > DataSync SMB Location

DataSync SMB Location in AWS represents a configured connection point to an SMB (Server Message Block) file system. It is used by AWS DataSync to transfer data between on-premises SMB shares or self-managed file servers and AWS storage services. This resource stores details such as the server hostname, share name, authentication information, and mount options, enabling secure and efficient data movement for migration, backup, or replication tasks.
