Centera to NTFS

[Suresh_Vangara]

Hello there

Is there a way we can move archived data (DVS Files) from Centera to SAN or NAS ? Either through EVAC or is there a migration tool available from EMC for this ?

regards

SK

I know there's a tool to go the other way...but I'm not sure you can go from a centera to ntfs without difficulty. Is your centera in compliance mode?

hi Micah

No, its not in compliance mode.

I ran across this old thread by searching "Centera to NTFS". That's something that I'm interested in as well.

Does anyone have fresh information on what's possible now regarding moving data off of Centera onto another disk storage platform?

Regards,
Ethan

 Archive Shuttle from vcare has the ability to do this.

My question is why would you want to. Most people move to Centera to ensure the integrity of their data not away from it

Thanks for the info about Archive Shuttle.

My management is interested in investigating lower-cost storage options. Moving off of Centera would apparently save quite a bit of money.

 Agreed it is cheaper to go with SAN storage but you do loose security and compliance to some degree

I have heard a company called Procedo has a tool for Cent to NTFS, but have not heard how well it works

I am aware of one being investigated please email me

Yes, Procedo does have software to allow for this migration. We are the only certified migration software for Symantec Enterprise Vault at this time. If you'd like to learn more, you can check out our website or contact me directly. (www.procedo.com)

You might also want to look at TransVault, which has EV API-to-API migration, as well as Vault Solutions, which also has EV migration tools.
