Simply Migrate - Migrating Barracuda Data To Mimecast

This article explains how to migrate Barracuda data to the Mimecast API using Simply Migrate, and is intended for Mimecast Partner Administrators.

Introduction

Simply Migrate makes it easy to migrate Barracuda data, and this article will show how to do this.

Prerequisites

• You are a Mimecast Partner Administrator.
• You are a Barracuda Administrator.

Migrating Barracuda Data

Administrators can migrate Barracuda data as part of the installation of Simply Migrate, by following the installation wizard, which will allow selection of the required Source.

If Simply Migrate has already been set up and initialized, administrators will need to start the job wizard from within the Batches and Jobs view, by using the following steps:

1. Select the Green List icon against the Batch to create the jobs, and choose Job creation wizard from the list.

   

2. In the source selection screen, click on the gear icon (or click on the gear icon in the top-right corner of the Simply Migrate screen).

   

3. Select Barracuda from the drop-down and enter the locally attached drive or UNC path to the Barracuda data then click on Save.

    

4. When returned to the job creation wizard, set Max number of zips per job to 1, and click on Next, to display a list of files that have been found.

   

• In the banner above the list, you will see that you can add a date filter, filter the list of jobs, and handle Bad address resolution.
• Most of the time, you will not need to add these, but you will be prompted about date filters when you click on Create Jobs.
• Filtering the jobs will only change your view of the jobs when you create them; Simply Migrate will attempt to create jobs for all ticked items, not just those visible in the filter.

5. Click on Create Jobs:

   

   6. Ensure that the number of jobs being created is correct, and consider if a date filter is required.
   7. Click on Create the Jobs.
   8. Jobs will be created and a tick will be shown in the Job Status, next to all the source files that have been selected. The Barracuda data migration is complete.
