Incremental migration with SPMT
Hello,
I'm trying to find the setting for incremental migration in the Microsoft SharePoint Migration Tool. The documentation https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepointmigration/how-to-use-the...
By default, if you save the job, the next run will be an incremental.
Modified files will be modified. New files will copy. Renamed files will get copied, and the one it replaced will continue to exist on the destination.
The wording is as if it copied all the data again, but my successive runs are no where like the initial with the heavy load in the first seeding. "Items migrated" is in totality, not the items copied in that incremental run.
After first execution, there is no way to modify the job in hopes to only copy that which is created/modified after a certain date - it shouldn't be necessary.

As Andrew Nee said, you could perform an incremental migration after you have completed the first execution using the Saved Migration sessions.
