Move Onedrive data from repo and move it to different volume

Post by rrivera@safewayins »

Hello, I have 1 repository and in that repository consist of OneDrive, Sharepoint & Mailboxes data. I want to remove ONLY the OneDrive data out of that repository and place it on it's own repository on another volume. After that I'll do same on Mailboxes and Sharepoint. See my case below.

You can do this via PowerShell using Move-VBOEntityData.

It requires 2 steps to move the data:
- Create the new target repository
- Use a PowerShell script to move it

The script should loop through your organization and move every user's data to the new repository. You can find an example in this KB which you can adjust to only match OneDrive data.

How much backup data do you have to migrate?
You cannot run your backup jobs as long the script is running.
The script works, but If you have a large amount of data to move, it could take very long to move.

See here some explanation about the script:

I don‘t have any experience.
After reading about the poor performance, we decided to start with a new repo in our case.

Dan from this topic had 4 days to move 5TB (mailbox data)
