EdbMails software for Google Vault migration

Google has taken the lead in cloud services, email, communication, and even search. Gmail and G Suite are extremely popular email platforms used by billions of people worldwide. Google Vault is an information and eDiscovery tool for Google Workspace (G Suite) that archives and stores data from Google services such as Hangouts, Gmail, Archives, Google Drive, Groups, and so on. All of this data is required for compliance, litigation, searching and exporting specific user data, and long-term archiving.

Google Vault requires a Google Workspace and Vault license to retain and archive user data. Many users are looking to migrate their emails and archived data from Google Vault to Office 365 for a variety of reasons, including business mergers and acquisitions, or changing their email platform due to compliance and license costs. Regardless of the reason, migrating from one cloud platform to another can appear to be a daunting task if not properly guided in the right direction. EdbMails PST migration tool can help you migrate from Google Vault to Office 365. Let us look at the pre and post migration activities and the actual migration operation with the application.

II. How to migrate from Google Vault to Office 365?

You can perform the migration with the following three methods.

  1. Migrate Google Vault to Office 365 from Microsoft admin center
  2. Migrate the PST file from Google Vault to Office 365 with EdbMails

Note that depending on the data you're exporting, Google Vault can export emails in PST or MBOX format. Emails and mail data, for example, are exported as PST, while documents and files from Drive are exported as DOC, PDF, XLS, and so on. Let's go over the steps for migrating your emails to Office 365.

Steps to migrate Google Vault to Office 365 from the Microsoft admin center

  • Step 1: Sign in to your G Suite account with an administrator account
  • Step 2: Login to Google Vault and click the ‘Create’ button on the left
  • Step 3: Enter a Matter name and Description in the Create new matter window
  • Step 4: Create a Hold for the New Matter by entering the Name, Type and Users.
  • Step 5: Create a search by selecting Mail, All Data and entering your email address
  • Step 6: Click on ‘Export’ and select a suitable format to download (PST or MBOX)
  • Step 7: Download the ZIP file containing the PST after the export operation.
  • Step 8: Import the PST file to Office 365 from Microsoft's admin center

Importing the PST to Office 365 is possible with the Azure AzCopy tool and the network upload option. However, this method is not very intuitive and takes time if you have larger data to migrate.

If you download an MBOX file from Google Vault, you can use Thunderbird to open and export the MBOX to EML. You can then import the EML into Outlook and then save your emails as PST which can be quite lengthy and time consuming as well. To get around these obstacles and directly migrate your Google Vault data to Office 365, you can use EdbMails, which supports migrating both PST and MBOX files.

Steps to migrate Google Vault to Office 365 with EdbMails

EdbMails is the ideal tool to import the PST files to Office 365. You can migrate the exported PST file from Google Vault to Office 365 without downtime or data loss and transfer all your email data to a new or an existing tenant.

  • Download EdbMails and install the application on any computer that is connected to the source and target environment. You can also perform the migration operation by installing EdbMails on a non-Exchange computer.

     See a detailed list of EdbMails system requirements for IMAP migration.

  • Launch the application and click ‘Login’ or ‘Start Your Free Trial’
  • Login to the application (if you have purchased a license and already have the username and password). The free trial version allows you to migrate 30 items from every folder of the source account to the target.

    • Select the mailboxes and folders from the left panel to migrate
    • Click ‘Migrate to Office 365’ to set up the connection with the target server.

Post-migration tasks

Step 1: Update the MX records to point to Office 365

If you have not done this step previously, add the DNS records known as MX records to enable and receive email messages on the target Office 365 server by keeping the same domain name (yourname@domain.com) from the source server. In addition to this setup, configure the Autodiscover record to allow Outlook to connect to the migrated mailboxes.

Step 2: Create a new Outlook profile for users in the new domain

Configure and recreate the Outlook profile for each user in your domain if Outlook has problems connecting to Office 365 mailboxes.

Final Takeaways

Google Vault is a Google Workspace-integrated tool that stores archives and emails for search, compliance, and eDiscovery. However, when it comes to migrating these emails to Office 365, there is no simple solution. One option is to export your emails from Google Vault to PST and then use Microsoft's network upload option. This method, however, can be complicated and time-consuming. EdbMails being a Microsoft partner tool can help you directly migrate a PST or an MBOX file to Microsoft 365, eliminating all of the manual workload associated with other methods.
