Migrating users from one Storage Location to another Storage Location including Dedupe files

Problem

Migrating users backed up files and Dedupe files to another server or location.

Solution

Using the DLOCommandu.exe -MigrateUserSL the data and users can be moved to the new location.

Here is the explanation of the command from the Admin Guide:

-MigrateUserSL Command

This command migrates an existing DLO user's network user data folder (NUDF) from one storage location to another location. Users are moved to the new storage location along with their data. A storage location should be a CIFS-based network user data folder that can exist on a Windows server and on certified NAS devices that support CIFS.

The DLOCommandu.exe utility should be run from an Administrator CMD Prompt from within the DLO folder.

Create the new Storage location and Dedupe Storage Location from within the DLO Admin Console in the new location. Once this is done you can run the following command to get the Storage Location RecordID.

DLOCommandu.exe -ListSL

This command returns the ID of the Storage Location that you will want to move the users to.
Results will appear similar to this:

In the above example,  users are currently using the Storage location on the C: Drive  with the RecordID of 20 and need to be moved to the new storage location on the F: drive that has just been created. The new Storage Locations RecordID is 80.

The following command is run to move the users, their data and their Dedupe Data to the new Storage Location.

 

When the process is complete there will be data in both locations, run the  Dedupe Garbage Collection Tool to remove the  old Dedupe data.
