Run an Environment Scan, and start and review your migration – CloudM

Run an environment scan

Environment Scan allows you to plan and prepare your migration by performing analysis of your source file environment and reporting important information such as file and folder counts, data volume, permissions, and folder depth.

After entering your source and destination server settings, populating your userlist, and configuring your settings, upon proceeding you will be prompted to run an environment scan. It is optional but recommended for all file platforms.

Click 'Start' to begin the scan. CloudM Migrate will connect to your source environment and capture file information. This can take up to several hours depending on the amount of data present. Once the scan completes the data is reported on the Environment Scans page and can be exported to file.

For more information file environment scan, see the Environment Scan article.
