Aranda Datasafe’s migration feature makes it easy to transfer user profile settings from one device to another. Using the migration feature can save you a lot of time and effort when you need to upgrade or replace your devices.
Migrating Profile Settings
With the profile settings migration feature, you can back up user data and profile settings to a device in Aranda Datasafe. Then, you can restore them to another device. This makes it easier and faster to transfer common user data, such as desktop shortcuts, desktop files, documents, etc.
To use the migration feature, you must [enable it in the Policy] that the device you want to replace uses.
When migration is enabled, Aranda Datasafe will back up user data and profile settings. This takes place at the same time as the next business data backup (as defined in the Policy).
When the user’s data and profile settings have been backed up, you can restore them to a new device.
Example: Let’s say you have a laptop backed up and protected by Aranda Datasafe. The laptop will be replaced with a newer model.
Use the migration feature to back up the user data and profile settings of the current laptop.
When the new laptop arrives, you’ll discover and activate the device in Aranda Datasafe. Then, use the Restore feature to transfer the user data and profile settings of the old laptop from Aranda Datasafe to the new laptop.
Your new laptop is updated with user data and profile settings (Outlook profile and signatures, mapped network drives, and various folder and taskbar settings, etc.).
