Executing Migration

When a migration is executed, Mover transitions from planning into action. At this stage the platform evaluates the source and destination, identifies which files need to be transferred, and begins copying them. Much like Files.com Remote Sync jobs, files are checked for differences in size or presence before being copied or moved, and transfers are performed efficiently with parallelism where possible.

Any configuration choices, such as removing empty folders or deleting files from the source after transfer, are applied automatically as the job runs. Throughout the process, Mover provides real-time visibility into progress by displaying the amount of data moved, the number of files processed, and any issues that occur.

After the migration completes, Mover generates a detailed report that shows what was transferred successfully and highlights any errors that may need attention. Some issues can be resolved simply by rerunning the job, while others may require updates to permissions or adjustments to file handling rules.

For larger projects, incremental migrations can then be scheduled to process only the files that have changed since the last run. This approach keeps the destination up to date and streamlines the final cutover, making the overall migration process more reliable and efficient.
