Incremental Migration - doesnt handle file moves/edits
hat should you expect with the Incremental Migration feature in SPMT? I noticed it doesn't seem to do a lot of things I would have expected it to do. For example:
1. If I rename a file on the source site, I end up with two files on destination site (old name and new name).
2. If I move a file to a subfolder on the source site, I end up with two files on the destination site (same name, but one is in the original location and the other is in the new location).
3. If I delete a folder on the source site, the folder does not get deleted on the destination site.
4. If i edit the home page and change the web parts, the changes are not reflected on the destination site.
The only thing that seems to work correctly is new files that are added to the source site, show up on the new site after a migration. That and site permissions.

- Hi,
The scenarios you describe does not fit into what an incremeantal migration is for the SPMT or a third party migration tool. A migration tool does not analyze the content of the files at the source and destination to determine if we have the same content but with different names or under a different path
