Egnyte Files Migration to Google Drive with Delta Migration

Wondering how to migrate the updated and modified data after migration? Delta migration solves your Egnyte to Google Drive hassles.

Migrating large datasets from Egnyte to Google Drive can be challenging for IT teams, especially when dealing with terabytes/petabytes of data and ensuring zero downtime.

Traditional migration methods often result in downtime, data inconsistencies, and high costs for re-transferring data if any new or modified files are added during the migration process. That’s where Delta Migration can help. Delta Migration moves only the changed data, avoiding redundant transfers.

Now, let’s see what Delta Migration is and why Delta Migration is important when IT admins plan to migrate from Egnyte to Google Drive.

What is Delta Migration?

Delta migration refers to the process of transferring only the changes (deltas) made to data since the last migration.

It moves only new or modified files after the one-time migration, so changes made during the migration process are reflected at the destination without having to re-transfer everything. This ensures data consistency during migrations.

Why Delta Migrations Matter: Avoiding Full Re-Migration

One of the major dilemmas with migrations is that when files are being updated or created during the process, you end up with duplicate data or incomplete transfers.

For example, if you’re migrating 20 TB of data and 500 GB of new files are added during the transfer, a traditional migration would require you to re-do the entire 20 TB process. That’s not just inefficient, it’s expensive in time and resources.

When migrating from Egnyte to Google Drive, Delta migration doesn’t have to transfer unchanged files again as only new or modified files are moved. This way the source and destination are in sync and no data is left behind or duplicated.

So, IT teams don’t have to repeat the entire migration if new files are added after the one-time transfer. Choose the best Egnyte to Google Drive migration tool that supports delta migration.

Delta Migrations with CloudFuze: Move New and Modified Files

The advanced Delta Migration method detects and transfers only new files and updated files (i.e., files whose metadata or content has changed during the migration process).

This method ensures the latest version of a file is moved to the destination, perfect for active environments where files are being updated constantly. It also prevents data loss or duplication by not overwriting files incorrectly.

Our CloudFuze cloud migration tool migrates Egnyte to Google Drive smoothly and supports delta migration to move new and modified files. So, your data stays consistent during the migration process even when files are being updated. Also, with our pre-migration analysis we identify potential issues and optimize the migration strategy.

How to Transfer Egnyte Files to Google Drive with Delta Sync

Our platform offers the user-friendly UI and involves easiest steps to successfully transfer Egnyte to Google Drive.

1. Sign Up & Connect Your Clouds

First things first—log in or sign up on CloudFuze. Then, add both Egnyte and Google Drive to get started.

2. Authorize & Analyze

Give CloudFuze the necessary permissions to access your files. Then, run a quick pre-migration analysis to check data volume and permissions.

3. Map Users & Customize Settings

Let CloudFuze auto-map users or tweak them manually (CSV mapping). Choose metadata to retain, like timestamps and file versions.

4. Start & Monitor Migration

Once everything looks good, hit Start Migration! Track progress in real time and fix any errors along the way.

5. Sync New Changes with Delta Migration

After the first transfer (one-time migration), run a delta migration to move any newly added or modified files, keeping everything up to date.

The Role of Delta Migration in Reducing Time and Cost

Delta Migration reduces both the time and cost of the migration. The benefits are:

1. Less Data to Transfer: Delta Migration only moves modified or new files, so less data is transferred. For example, instead of migrating the whole 20TB again, only incremental changes (in GB or MB) are transferred after the initial migration.
2. Lower Operational Costs: Less data to transfer means less resources required for the migration and therefore lower costs. The operational cost savings of using Delta Migration can be huge when dealing with large datasets.
3. Faster Migration: Less files to transfer means less bandwidth usage and overall migration time so IT can complete the migration faster.
4. Less Disruption: Traditional migrations require the source system to be offline for a long time, disrupting daily business. Delta Migration minimizes this by moving only the latest changes, so less time and impact on business productivity. This is especially useful for business-critical environments where downtime must be neutralized.

By following best practices for migrating from Egnyte to Google Drive, you can optimize time and cost during your migration.
