2. Use ArchivePath column of the TSV file (please see "For Archives" in KB 27457).

3. Verify the UNC paths are  provided can be accessed manually and used correct pipe "|" between the UNC paths.

4.  Add the following parameter into Global Default Settings:

[ArchiveData]
UsePseudoRoot=0

5. Select "Through the File System" option during the migration.

6. Select "Archives: Server-based Personal Archive on Destinations" for Migrated Data window.

Archive 2
Archive 1
Different Archive belongs to same user

[ArchiveData] UsePseudoRoot=<#> Type: boolean. Optional. Default: 1 Determines whether the Data Migration Wizard will migrate archives to the primary Outlook mailbox (the main root) rather than to subfolders under a pseudo root. For example: UsePseudoRoot=0 ... tells the Wizard to migrate archives to the top-level mailbox (without a pseudo-root folder). By default (1), the Wizard migrates archives to subfolders under a pseudo root.
