Description
Specify the volume on the target SnapServer where you want the data
imported.
Specify the path to the target SnapServer where you want the data
imported.
Options for the import data are to
Move (source data is removed during copy). If Verify imported data is
enabled, the Move option removes the original data after the
verification is complete.
The default is Copy.
NOTE: If you select to Move rather than Copy data, it is strongly
recommended that you also select to Verify imported data.
If the folder you select for import contains sub-folders, selecting this
option will import all files and folders underneath this folder (checked
by default). If disabled, only the files directly in this folder will be
imported.
If files/folders on the target share identical names with files/folders on
the source, checking this option overwrites those files/folders during
import (checked by default.)
Selecting this option will retain the source permissions when the
files/folders are imported to the SnapServer target (unchecked by
default).
NOTE: Before selecting this option, be sure to review Preserving
Permissions.
Selecting this option will cause all source data to be read twice, once
to write to the target SnapServer and once to perform a binary
comparison with the data written to the SnapServer (unchecked by
default). If enabled, and if the Import Type is Move, files on the source
will only be removed after verification. Otherwise, files will be removed
immediately during the copying of them to the SnapServer. If you
select to move files rather than copy them, it is strongly recommended
that you enable the Verify imported data option.
If a file mismatch occurs during verification, the target file is moved to
a data_import_verify_failures directory on the root of the same
volume. Check the failed file to determine the problem, then run the
Overwrite Existing Target Files & Folders
import again with
deselected (so you don't re-copy files that have already been copied
and verified).
NOTE: Depending upon how much data is being imported, verifying
imported data can be a lengthy process.
Clicking the email notification link will take you to the Email
Notification page (for more information, see
page 9-16). Fill in notification information and check the box next to
Administrative Operation Event in order to receive an email when
the import operation is complete.
