Migrating from Google Vault

Setting up a service account and Google APIs

Please refer to the Setting up the Service Account and enable the APIs article.

Choose Google Vault as the migration source and enter your Google Vault settings into Cloud M Migrate and then click next.

• Domain Name - The domain name you will be migrating from. This should be the Internet domain name, not the local domain name.
• Admin Email - The email address of a super admin account for the primary Google Workspace domain. If migrating using multiple workstations, use one super admin user per workstation.
• Service Account Email Address - Before attempting to configure Cloud M Migrate, you should have created a google cloud platform project and created a service account for it. Input the service account's email address in this field.
• Private Key Path - The file path to the P12 key that was generated and downloaded when creating the service account.

Cloud M Migrate will now perform a small connection test to verify that the details you have entered are correct. If this fails you may have entered something incorrectly. If you are failing to resolve the issue please contact CloudM Support.

Select Google Workspace as your destination platform.

Select where you would like your data to be migrated. If you have purchased Google Workspace for Business or Google Vault you may want to migrate data directly into Google Vault.

To enable Google Vault for your domain, please see the following article: http://support.google.com/vault/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=2584132

Enter information for your Google Workspace admin account.

• Domain Name - The domain name you will be migrating from. This should be the Internet domain name, not the local domain name.
• Admin Username - An administrator account for the domain specified, this will usually be an email address for a Super Admin.
• Service Account Email Address - Before attempting to configure CloudM Migrate, you should have created a Google Cloud platform project and created a service account for it. Input the service account's email address in this field.
• Private Key - The file path to the P12 key that was generated and downloaded when creating the OAuth service account.

If you cannot find the private key, go back to Google Cloud Platform service accounts, select your project (if not already selected), use the option button on the right of the service account and click Create Key. Select P12 and download the key file.

Once you have configured the settings, select Next. CloudM Migrate will perform a connection test against your domain to verify that everything has been entered correctly.

Cloud M Migrate lets you decide how much mail you'd like to migrate to your shiny new system.

If you are changing your email address as part of the migration you can verify that the domain names are correct here. You can also specify specific address replacements in the respective section of the advanced settings.

For more information on domain and address replacements, see this page.

We know that you may want to start your migration in the middle of the night, or over the weekend, but we don't expect you to stay up in order to do so. With Cloud M Migrate, you can decide to schedule exactly when you'd like the migration to occur.

Start the migration.

During the migration process, Cloud M Migrate will report back in real time exactly who is being migrated and the items being processed. All you now need to do is sit back, relax and wait for your migration to complete.

Check the progress of your migration.

Once complete you can download a full report for your migration.
