Use the solution
This section provides a user guide for using the AWS solution.
Validate your inventory
After you deploy this solution and transfer your archives, you can validate your Amazon S3 inventory to confirm whether all of your archives transferred. We recommend confirming that all of your archives transferred before deleting your original archive. See Amazon S3 Inventory for more information.
