Split data in different repositories. Is it possible?

Post by flavio.santos »

Hello all,

Can I split an existing repository (with the entire organization configuration) into 4 repositories (one for each product: Exchange, OneDrive, SharePoint, and Teams)?

The reason for that is, we will receive a new organization with existing backed-up data, something around 20TB of data, and they were using one repository and one job, backing up the entire organization with it.

We know that for performance, breaking it into smaller repositories and jobs is good, but is there a way to do it and move the data to the new repository?

The idea is: to create a new repository for Exchange and move all the Exchange existing data to this new repository, just because we don't want to download all this data again, duplicating the data.

Thanks!

Flavio Santos.

Hi Flavio

We have a powershell command to move data from one repository to another. It only works for moving data from a local repository to another local repository or object storage based repository.
While the command is running, your backup jobs has to be disabled. Migrating data with the command could be not as fast as you would expect. I suggest to give it a test run with a small amount of data (a few mailboxes) before you run the command for all of the mailboxes.
