Using Incremental Copy to Migrate Changes Since Last Migration

For this scenario you will need a library with documents that exists on both the source and target. You can use the site or site collection from the previous Copy Site scenario that contained a document library with a number of documents.

This scenario demonstrates that only new or changed content can be copied using incremental copying:

1.In a web browser, open the document library that was part of the site you copied over in the previous scenario.

2.Add one document to the document library on the source site.

3.Within Metalogix Content Matrix, right click on the site node where you just added a document, and choose Refresh Node. The item count will be updated once the node is refreshed.

Incremental Copy Confirmation

Note the skipped items, this is a sign that certain items were not copied over a second time because they already existed on the site.

Confirmation8

Look at the job source window found below the Explorer view. If you compare the data migrated during the previous copy site scenario, to the data migrated during this scenario, you will notice that the number of bytes for this data migration is significantly less, because only the document we added in this scenario was copied over. This is incremental copying and migration of changes.

Confirmation8b

In this scenario you:

üCopied the same site after the addition of a document to the document library using the Incremental Copy setting.

üObserved that only new or changed items were copied and pasted as part of the incremental copy.
