The Copy S3 Objects action can be used to copy many S3 objects from one S3 bucket to another S3 bucket. Either all objects can be copied, or objects restricted by a specific key prefix. Object key names can optionally be renamed during the copy process.

The Copy S3 Objects action includes a "test mode" as a way of determining which objects will be copied without actually copying the objects. This way, you can fine tune your action without concern for copying the wrong objects.

When test mode is enabled, execute your action normally then check the action logs to verify that only objects that should have been copied would have been copied, and that objects that should not have been copied would not have been copied.

When you are satisfied, disable Test Mode.

Please see Common Action Settings for a description of settings common to all action types.
