AWS CLI - Saving the full output as a log file

I am using the aws s3 cp command to upload files to my s3 bucket. I am using windows cmd for this and when I run the following command:

aws s3 cp "logs.txt" s3://test/logs.txt --debug > ./log_test.txt

With the debug flag I see a lot of relevant information which is showed in the cmd window but when I open the log_test.txt file I can only see one line (maybe not even one).

Is there a way to save the full output showed in my cmd screen into a file? This issue also happens when an error occurs. So if my file is not uploaded correctly I can't debug what the error was. Which is the main pain point I have.

I have already tried adding the --output flag but this only allows you to change the format of the output which is still not saved.

This worked for me in Windows.

aws s3 sync "my local directory" s3://mybucket --debug 2> "logname.txt"

If you want to store complete log, the one that you see when your run that command without redirection then you can use &> instead of > for unix based systems.

So it should look like 

aws s3 cp "logs.txt" s3://test/logs.txt --debug &> ./log_test.txt

I am not 100% sure what is the Windows equivalent, but I think it is 2> so you can try 

aws s3 cp "logs.txt" s3://test/logs.txt --debug 2> ./log_test.txt
