Google Apps to O365 migration
Hi Faiza,
I am working in a migration scenario similar as yours, 11K mailboxes, using FastTrack.
We are considering using BitTitan to migrate data from Google Vault to O365, just concerned about Google Throttle limitations, did you have any problems downloading the matters to the Google Vault Extractor VM? Can you remember how much data in average per day were you able to extract from Vault?
FastTrack will also migrate Google Drive. Did they help you to remediate the files according to OneDrive limitations, such as invalid characters? or was that the reason you used Sharegate?
also, how did you manage to use Sharegate and FastTrack to migrate Google Drive?
Thank you so much.
Edgar Vicioso, Nuno is correct about the using the BitTitan tool for the Google Vault migrations. With the licenses that you purchase BitTitan's assistance to help with you the migration is included. So please leverage them.
For Google Drive to OneDrive for Business migrations it's a little more complicated. We used Sharegate to move the Google Drive data that was linked within a Google Site as we were migrating Google Sites as well. Sharegate is a great tool for that. There are not that many tools out there when it comes to migrating Google Sites to SharePoint. The tool we were using is no longer sold due to having so many limitations and bugs. We ended up building majority of the SharePoint sites and used ShareGate to move the OneDrive data to SharePoint libraries and pages. FastTrack does not assist in remediation. It just gives you daily reports on pre-flight and post migration reports for success and failures. You can request a detailed report but if your uses have large drives those are pretty large reports to sort through.
Let me know if you have any additional questions and good luck with the migrations.
Thank you Faiza for replying. Much appreciated.
I was interested in knowing how much data we could extract from Google Vault per day, to be able to give our client an estimate of the effort required to move their archives to O365. We have asked BitTitan about it but as there are too many components in their Vault migration solution, they recommended us to do pilot to get a more accurate estimation. The good news is that our client approved it.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience.
Best Regards.
Hi Edgar Vicioso my name is Antonio Vargas, I work for Bittitan. As NunoAriasSilva said the throttling limits with our tool are not the problem. We have the most efficient tool to migrate data out of vault, and the big issue comes from the Vault on the Google side. Long story short the Vault doesn't allow any matters that take more than 24h (times out). But we do have processes to take multiple matters and make sure that, with multiple extractor machines and multi-threading per machine you move all that data out without an issue. Ping me so that we can schedule a call and discuss details if you want. Glad to help.
