Incremental migration
When you migrate to the target Exchange or Office 365 server using EdbMails Exchange migration tool, the first migration is a full migration, which migrates everything from the source to the target. After you complete the full migration with EdbMails, you can run the incremental migration, which migrates only the new items and the items which are not yet migrated by comparing the previous migration data.
EdbMails comes with the built-in support for incremental migration that is useful to migrate mail items without duplicating them on the target server on subsequent migration operations.
The incremental migration feature is useful in the following scenarios
- To migrate items that were excluded in the previous attempt (when you apply folder or filter options during the migration)
- To restore the edited or updated source items to the target folders such as calendars, appointments and notes.
After you migrate the mailboxes from a particular computer, you must migrate from the same source mailbox to the same target mailbox from the same computer to avoid duplicates on the target.
EdbMails Exchange migration tool with its incremental migration is one of the best solutions to run the migration without creating duplicates on your target server. This approach will save migration time, bandwidth and improve migration performance.
