Data transfer tool for secure client-side data transfer to a shippable storage device

A method, comprising:

• performing, by a data transfer tool implemented on one or more computing devices of a network of a client site:
• obtaining, from a remote storage service provider, at least one encryption key;
• identifying data stored on one or more storage devices of the network to be imported to a storage service of the remote storage service provider;
• obtaining the identified data from the one or more storage devices;
• generating one or more encryption keys for encrypting the identified data;
• encrypting the identified data using the one or more generated encryption keys to generate encrypted data;
• encrypting the one or more generated encryption keys using the at least one encryption key provided by the remote storage service provider to generate an encrypted one or more generated encryption keys to be communicated to the remote storage service provider;
• transfer the encrypted data to the at least one shippable storage device provided by the remote storage provider and attached to the network;
• and
• in response to completion of the transferring of the encrypted data to the at least one shippable storage device, indicating that the at least one shippable storage device is ready for shipment to the remote storage service provider.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing program instructions that, when executed by one or more computing devices of a network of a client site, cause the one or more computing devices to implement:

• identifying data stored on one or more storage devices of the network to be imported to a storage service of a remote storage service provider;
• obtaining the identified data from the one or more storage devices;
• generating one or more encryption keys for encrypting the identified data;
• encrypting the identified data using the one or more generated encryption keys to generate encrypted data;
• encrypting the one or more generated encryption keys using at least one encryption key stored by the remote storage service provider to generate an encrypted one or more generated encryption keys to be communicated to the remote storage service provider;
• transferring the encrypted data to at least one shippable storage device provided by the remote storage provider and attached to the network;
• and
• in response to completion of the transferring of the encrypted data to the shippable storage device, indicating that the shippable storage device is ready for shipment to the remote storage service provider.
