title: How to copy / move data from AWS EBS to EFS?
body: <p>I've mostly found old answers and I'm not sure I understand the AWS guide. </p>
  
  <p>The AWS guide for some reason assumes I have an NFS server as source. Other people suggest simply mounting EBS and EFS and using a simple "cp" command. Unfortunately that's very slow.</p>
  
  <p>What's the fastest way of moving data from EBS to EFS?
  Is EFS File Sync the right option?</p>
