Users can use Cutover, Staged, or Exchange-Hybrid migration methods to migrate all mailbox items—emails, calendars, contacts, and tasks—from an on-premises Exchange Server system to Office 365. Exchange administrators can also utilize PowerShell scripts to convert mailbox data to PST format and then import PST files via Network upload or Drive Shipping.
To migrate mailboxes, users must repeat the cutover or staged migration process numerous times in a large business where on-premises Exchange hosts more than 2000 mailboxes because transferring more than 150 mailboxes in a single cycle is not suggested.However, to complete the complex and time-consuming operations with accuracy, all of these technologies require a significant amount of manual work and monitoring.
When compared to the manual technique of migration from Exchange EDB to Office 365, the operation of a professional third-party program such as Shoviv Exchange Recovery Manager is straightforward. This tool is easy to operate as it comes with many user-centric features.
This software does not make any alteration in the data during exporting of the source mailboxes. An incremental backup feature is also part of this tool. Apart from this, the user can also take a tour of the tool demo version to check the software's working.
