Start a migration from Aranda Datasafe

4. Click on the target device to open the side panel.
5. Click on the 3 dots at the bottom right of the side panel and select Migrate.
6. Select the device to migrate from from the drop-down menu and continue.

Monitoring
After starting the migration, the administrator can continue to monitor the progress from Aranda Datasafe. The window may close while other management tasks are being performed.
The admin can check the migration progress at any time, by clicking on any of the devices involved in the migration and opening the event details from the side panel.
Perform an upgrade migration
Once the initial full remote migration has been completed, there are a few more steps before handing over the target device to the user:
- In the event that a user was working on the source machine while the migration was running, some files might be locked. This will be visible in the details of the migration event.
- It is important that the user closes all applications during the upgrade migration (later).
- In Aranda Datasafe you can start another migration. This will migrate any data that was in use by the user at the time of the initial migration execution.
- Once the upgrade migration is successfully completed, you can perform a logout/login to apply the profile settings to the new device.
- Be sure to apply other settings that are not covered by the full remote migration feature.
- Give the new device to the user and confirm with them that everything has been migrated.
