Location of restored glacier archives?

Question

Hello,

I used a 3rd part software called FastGlacier to upload some files (total ~230gb) into a glacier archive named ACD. Now a month later I want to retrieve said files and copy them into a s3 standard bucket so I can run some analysis on it.

I already retrieved the inventory from the CLI (aws glacier initiate-job... inventory-retrieval) and retrieved the archives (aws glacier initiate-job... archive-retrieval). If i look up the status of the jobs, 9 archives in total, they come back as succeeded.

I want to copy those files directly to an s3 bucket named ACDr. Is there a way to copy the files directly into s3 (ACDr) or do i have to first download to by EBS?

Answer

When an object in Glacier is restored, it's restored to an S3 bucket (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/userguide/restoring-objects.html). To then move that data to another bucket (as a one-time event), try the `aws s3 cp` command (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/s3/cp.html).
