24.12 Conversion (Data Transfer Method)

Conversion or Data Transfer options enable you to specify:

  • How data is transferred from source to target.

    PlateSpin Migrate supports file-level data transfer for Windows workloads and block-level data transfer for Windows and Linux workloads. The file-level method enables you to specify the free space available for the target volume when you configure the migration. See Supported Data Transfer Methods.

  • The scope of workload data to transfer from the source to the target.

    PlateSpin Migrate Client supports Full Migration for any workload and Server Sync (Changes only) for Server Sync jobs. See Synchronizing Workloads with Server Sync.
