Hi Bert,
I have been moving a much lesser number of 'inactive' archives from site a to site b. As far as I recall, there was no need to create the target-archives. EV11 Admin guide states:
"You can also move an inactive archive in the source site to an existing inactive archive or to a new archive in the destination site."
I assume you know, but be advised that you might need to tweak the cfg files to prevent the move to 'wait for backup'. And, it is not fast. I moved archives from Ireland to NL, about 2000, and that took about 11 months, but I am not sure about the number of items and total size. I think it was something like 5TB.
Hi GertJan,
thanks for the reply. As you quoted: "You can also move an inactive archive in the source site to an existing inactive archive or to a new archive in the destination site." The catch is that there has to be an "existing inactive" or "new archive" in the target. In both situations it means that I have to have a target archive to migrate to --> ergo I have to create it first --> need a mailbox for this.
I will try to test if I can go around this as you mentioned, but I need to move 120+ TB uncompressed...so slow is not an option :-)
