I run a file-heavy site, and I can't pay for enough disk space to host everything I need to on the server where I'm running drupal. I need to host my user-uploaded files entirely outside of my server (ideally on Amazon S3).

Does this module support this kind of functionality, or does it simply copy the files to S3, and redirect downloads there, meaning that all of the files are still on my local server?

From what little I've used this, I'd say straight to amazon. I don't see the files when I log in via FTP to my server.

How about migration of local data to S3?

This module does not store a copy on the local file system (as Branndon said). I just tested on my site and found that to be the case. Files are uploaded directly to the S3 bucket. Files that are still on your server, however, will not be deleted if they are pushed up to S3.
