Introducing MigratePro
Built on the same great engine that has garnered SureSync much success, MigratePro fills multiple needs for managing and protecting shares within your network:
- Migrate Shares, Share Permissions, & Data to New Hardware
- Consolidate Shares on Multiple Servers to a Single Server
- Automate Share Protection with Flexible Scheduling
Click the thumbnail to the left to see the MigratePro desktop. Much like SureSync, you can view individual jobs in the left-hand pane and modify multiple settings in the right-hand pane.
Within MigratePro, Relations are created which form the basic building block of your MigratePro migratation jobs. Under each relation, you can configure the root paths, retries for failed migration attempts, performance functionality, job access security and more.
Within each 'Relation', 'Rules' are configured to instruct MigratePro on how you would like the migration of your settings to be performed.

Centralize Backups with SureSync
SureSync provides a powerful synchronization engine which allows you to automate and simplify many different types of data transfers. Tape backups can pose a number of problems for an organization.
- Tape drives and their associated media is generally expensive, slow, and prone to failure.
- Tape drives tend to be placed in multiple offices requiring time from multiple employees to manage the backup process.
- There is the potential for a failure in many parts of this process including a backup failing because someone fails to change a tape at the correct time.
SureSync can be used to help simplify your tape backups by providing an automated method for synchronizing data from remote sites to a central location where it can then be backed up. This allows you to eliminate maintaining multiple tape drives and sets of media. It also saves employee time spent managing the backup process in multiple locations and eliminates the potential for user error to impact your backup jobs.
You can even eliminate some or all of your reliance on tape by using the ArchiveSync add-on for SureSync to create versioned backups to hard drive media. Keeping archives in multiple locations provides protection against a disaster at one office and data is readily available on fast, reliable hard drives for quick restore.
If tape is needed you can use scheduled mirror rules to “pull” data in from the remote sites to your backup location. In that backup location you can then backup the data you just synchronized to tape and store those tapes for long term storage. These scheduled jobs can run at the same time each night, allowing enough time for the data to be synchronized. A tape backup job can then be run on a scheduled basis completely automating the process. The tape backups can then be shipped to an offsite location. Through this process SureSync can reduce the cost and complexity of managing tape backups.
