Rclone copy cannot conserve metadata, retention period

[slomix19987 (Kaiba)]

Hello

We will migrate our from EMC to HCP object solution, and we chose rclone to copy data from source to target
rclone copy work well the problem that we face it's not conserving the retention period and the metadata when the objects are copied to the target below the command we use :
rclone copy --metadata EMC:bucket HCP:target
All object are taged with the actual date with no retention

Did we use the correct commande or there is another option to add ?
Could you help on that ?
thank you so much

I assume you are using S3 interfaces on both?

The --metadata flag should be preserving the metadata listed in the s3 docs

However I don't think retention period is in that metadata yet.

This sounds like an enterprise migration - if you are working on behalf of a company you might be interested in taking out a support contract which can help you get answers quicker and keeps the rclone project sustainable.
