Data Migration Data Migration Use the Data Migration feature to migrate data from a legacy SnapServer or other computer that supports CIFS or NFS (v2 or v3) to a new SnapServer. The Data Migration (DM) feature can be used to copy or move files and folders from a server on the network (source) to a SnapServer (target). To access the Data Migration utility, navigate to Maintenance > Data Migration. If an error is encountered during migration (e.g., a file or folder is locked and cannot be migrated), the DM utility records the error in a log, and continues the operation. When the migration is completed, the administrator can view the log of migration errors. Once the errors have been corrected, the user returns to the DM main screen, and recreates the migration. With the exception of the password, all fields will still be populated with the specifications of the last job. The following migration options can be specified: • Copy or move data • Include subfolders • Overwrite existing files • Preserve the original permissions settings Note If you elect to preserve original permissions settings, be sure to review Preserving Permissions. • Verify migrated data Note If you elect to verify migrated data, all data will be read twice, once for migration and once for comparison to the copied data. This could be a lengthy process. For details about setting up a migration job, see the online help. Note If a migration failed, it is strongly recommended that you enable the Verify migrated data option for the re-migration.
