An AutoVirt migration policy moves data from a share, volume, or filer to a target you select.

Synchronization.  AutoVirt provides a pre-migration copy and synchronization phase.  During this phase, AutoVirt copies any files it finds un-open from source to destination.  By pre-seeding your migration target, the majority of your files will be copied when it comes time for the final migration

Scheduling.  A migration policy can be scheduled to begin at any time.  You may stipulate a blackout window during which AutoVirt will pause the migration job

Open file handling.  Data integrity is protected by enforcing read-only file access during the copying of each share.  As soon as an individual share is copied, write access is restored – even if the migration policy is still running on other shares

Share-by-share migration.  As soon as a share is migrated, clients automatically access it in its new location.  Individual files are unavailable only while their parent shares are being migrated.  Share-by-share migration drastically reduces downtime, and eliminates the need to take an entire device offline during migration

Automatic client redirects.  When a share copy is complete, client shortcuts automatically resolve to the new location of the data.  Automatic client referrals eliminate post-project remapping
