Migration path
SFTP to Barracuda Message Archiver migration
SFTP → Barracuda
Need to import archive data from SFTP into Barracuda Message Archiver? We’ll validate the source files and supported ingestion route before we run the work.
- Fully managed delivery
- No customer-side install
- Architecture deployed for the job
- Agreed chain-of-custody reporting
What a SFTP to Barracuda migration involves
Source considerations — SFTP
Before collecting from SFTP, we confirm connectivity, host-key validation, authentication, paths, formats, capacity and the transfer window.
Destination considerations — Barracuda
Where Barracuda is the destination, we validate the exact product and supported ingestion method first. The appliance and cloud service should not be treated as interchangeable.
How we run the migration
Confirm the scope
We agree the data in scope, source access, destination requirements, volume, timing and evidence needed at handover.
Design and deploy the route
We select the supported migration method and deploy the eMXport architecture needed for the job.
Run and manage the work
We operate the migration jobs, monitor progress and investigate exceptions. Your team gets clear updates without running the platform.
Reconcile and report
We close the engagement against the agreed scope and provide the chain-of-custody and outcome reporting defined during discovery.
What we need to price the migration
Start with what you know. We can refine the rest during discovery.
- Source and destination platforms
- Approximate data volume in terabytes
- Number of users, custodians or archives, where known
- Required timescale and any fixed cut-off date
- Retention, hold, legal or compliance constraints
- Reporting and sign-off requirements
Questions we hear a lot
- Do we need to install eMXport?
- No. We deploy and operate the eMXport architecture for the engagement. Your team provides the agreed access and decisions, not another platform to maintain.
- Can you preserve every folder, label, field and retention setting?
- That depends on what the source can export and the destination can accept. We map the supported data and metadata during discovery, then document the agreed scope.
- How long will the migration take?
- Volume is only one factor. Source performance, destination limits, data shape, access, exceptions and migration windows all matter. We estimate timing after discovery.
- Which source files can you import?
- Support depends on the file format, message structure, metadata and destination ingestion route. We inspect representative data before committing to the full job.
- Do you validate files before ingestion?
- We agree the appropriate checks during discovery. These may cover accessibility, structure, format and other conditions required by the destination route.
