Documented steps
One-shot sync directory to bucket (overwrite existing): mc mirror --overwrite ~/mydata ALIAS/BUCKET
Continuously watch and sync until terminated: mc mirror --watch ~/mydata ALIAS/BUCKET
Active-active mirror between two sites - run on both sides: mc mirror --active-active siteA siteB, and mc mirror --active-active siteB siteA
Mirror and remove target objects absent from source: mc mirror --remove --overwrite ALIAS/src ALIAS/dst
Known gotchas
Without --overwrite, objects already present on the target raise an error and sync continues; add --overwrite to replace them.
mc mirror syncs only the current object - no version history or metadata beyond tags; use mc replicate / mc admin replicate for full version/history sync.
--watch continuously syncs but does not remove extra target objects unless --remove is also given.
--exclude-storageclass is handy to skip GLACIER/DEEP_ARCHIVE objects when migrating from AWS S3.
