Don''t even need an ec2 instance if all you do is moving the data to Amazon s3. rclone can do direct cloud-to-cloud transfer, the data won't hit the computer where the rclone running, so it should be very fast. You're going to have an eye watering s3 bill though. Once the data in an s3 bucket, you can copy them to glacier later.

Server side copies will only be attempted if the remote names are the same It sounds like that's only for storage systems that support move/rename operations within themselves, and isn't able to transfer between different storage providers.

You're right. Server side copy is only done when syncing between google drive.
