SP 2013 Migration to SP Online - RBS migration

Hello Everyone,

 

We are helping one of our customer to migrate from SP 2013 to SP Online. Customer has enabled Remote BLOB(RBLOB) and is using Metalogix storage point to Manage the RBLOB.

As RBLOB is not supported in SharePoint Online , we are not able to device the appropriate solution to migrate the RBLOB content(which occupy approx ~1 TB of data)

Can anyone guide us on the probable approach and the options we have

 

Regards,

Amit

  • What's the problem you are facing? I have migrated 1000 sites last years for a customer that had RBS in place (default SP 2010 RBS, not a custom one such as the one you mention with Metalogix Storage Point)

      jcgonzalezmartin  First and foremost. Thanks for your response

      We are still in assessment phase and wanted to derive a strategy to migrate RBS content.

       

      Our questions are

      1) Whether Migration tool will take care of migrating the SP 2013 RBS content to SP Online libraries?

      2) If yes, which tool does is more effectively ( Metalogix/ShareGate)

      3) Can we leverage Azure BLOB storage or is there any other mechanism which could avoid adding 1 TB of data into SP online lists & libraries

       

      Regards,

      Amit
