File Server Migration: FSMT

In a file server, administrators grant different permissions (share permissions and NTFS permissions) to different folders. With the development of the enterprise, the file server will always face the change of directory structure or the problem of file server migration. If you use normal copying or shearing exercises, the management of these permissions is a very difficult problem, usually we think of using Windows Backup and the original. However, backup and restore still face two problems, one: Share permissions can not be retained, if you want to migrate more directories, is still a very cumbersome work; second, Windows Xp/windows 2003 early in its version uses NT Backup to back up data, while WINDOWS7/ Windows 2008 and Windows 2008 R2 use Windows Server Backup, a BKF file backed up with NT backup, that cannot be restored to a Windows Server backup based system by default. Although Microsoft is already developing related patches, the compatibility of this patch is still a big problem.

To introduce the FSMT (Microsoft File Server Migration Toolkit) tool here, you can better solve the above two problems and make the file server migration easier. FSMT is a Microsoft-developed tool that can be downloaded for free at Microsoft's website.

Migrating shared data using the FSMT tool:

1, prepare the environment, ready to use the target server, configure the relevant network and AD and other basic settings.

2, download and install the FSMT tool to the target server.

3, run the FSMT tool, skip the Welcome interface, select "New" (or select it in the File menu) to create a new migration.

4, the following figure, first to create a log file, enter a convenient management of the log file name, and select the storage path. Click Next

5, because I do not use DFS in the environment, here do not check DFS, so that it becomes gray. Then click Next.

6, enter a default local target path, click Next, and then click Finish.
