Migrating files to Disk Extender extended drives
Hello, We have been live with AppXtender, WebXtender for 3 years, now have approx 90GB of images prior to purchasing Disk Xtender. Is there a way to import these files into a DX-managed extended drive? I created a media folder on the Windows file share, this is where the 90GB are now stored (this is our test system, I am just getting started with DX implementation.
Thanks,
Don Morse

I know this is an old post and I am sure you have an answer to your question but I will reply anyway.
This is difficult to answer since we dont know all the details of your old data. But I will give it a shot.
- Create a media folder in DX (unless you already have a folder to place the data)
- create Media group and Move rules
- created the DX partition map (this will be the path SQL points = \\servername\mediafolder)
- copy the data to the new folder (you might have to do a background scan on the extended drive for the files to appear in the move count)
- if you used SQL to store the AX data you will need to modify the rows for the 90GB of data to point to the new location. This is something you will need to involve the SQL DBA in or call professional services.
Hope this helps and if it is, please award me the points.
