Egnyte’s migration process generates several reports to provide insights into the progress and results of data migrations. These reports include detailed information to help users ensure successful migrations and address any issues that arise. 

Below is a breakdown of the different types of migration reports:

 

Migration Summary Report

This report provides a high-level overview of the migration process. It highlights key metrics such as:

  • Total files and folders migrated
  • Volume of data transferred
  • Success and failure rates
  • Time taken for the migration

Data Migration Report

The Data Migration Report, CSV contains a list of all the files that were successfully migrated as part of copy or sync commands. The report is updated on the local disk after the completion of copy or sync command and is also uploaded to the destination domain. 

The report consists of the details including:

  • Source and destination paths
  • File sizes and types
  • Migration timestamps
  • Status of individual files (for example successful, failed, or skipped)

This report is invaluable for troubleshooting issues and ensuring data consistency.

 

Permission Migration Report

This report contains a list of NTFS permissions and the converted permissions that were successfully migrated to Egnyte. Key details include:

  • Original and updated permission structures
  • Users and groups impacted
  • Any permissions that failed to transfer

By reviewing this report, administrators can validate that access controls are correctly replicated in the target environment.

 

Sanitization Reports

Sanitization Reports document changes made to the data to meet the requirements of the destination system. These changes may include:

  • File name modifications to comply with naming conventions
  • Removal of unsupported characters
  • Adjustments to path lengths

The report contains a list of source files and folders that were renamed along with the corresponding newly renamed paths. This report ensures transparency about modifications and helps address any discrepancies in the migration.

 

Scan Reports

These reports can be downloaded from the /Shared/Migrations folder in Egnyte. There will be zipped files named ‘cmmagent_migration_reports_<migrationid>_v<agent-version>’ for each Migration Job. After downloading and unzipping, users can navigate to the Scan folder to view the reports.

List of Files and Folders with Size and Modification Time

The report can be referred to migrate data and true-up’s data from source to destination. The report comprises the path and object name with size and modification time. Following details are present in this report with respect to scanned content at source:

  • Path: Path of file or folder
  • IsDir: True for folder and False for files
  • Filename: Name of the file or folder scanned

Empty Folders Scan Report

The report includes the list of empty folders scanned with their respective modification time. It can then be used to create empty folders from source to destination. The report comprises the following details: 

  • Full path: Full path of empty folder at source.
  • Relative path: Path of empty folder relative to source path of migration job.
  • ModTime: Date and time when the folder was updated

The name of the report is in the format as: empty_folder_<migration-id>_<timestamp>_v<agent-version>.csv

Future Timestamp Paths Report

The report consists of the list of files having a future timestamp. It can be used to update future timestamp if timestamp modification option is selected during data migration and true ups. The report comprises the following details: 

  • FullPath: Full path of file having future timestamp.
  • ModTime: Future date and time when this folder updated

The name of the report is in the format as: future_timestamp_<migration-id>_<timestamp>_v<agent-version>.csv

  • Operation: Update operation type of the object, such as copy, delete, and likewise
  • Request ID: Request id for the operation with which the operation is performed on Egnyte
  • Timestamp: Update time stamp
  • Source Checksum: Checksum value at source
  • Destination Checksum: Checksum value at destination

The name of the file is in the format as: on_the_fly_rename_<migration-id>_<timestamp>_v<agent-version>.csv

For example: on_the_fly_rename_4oqLn9xeKNSpQlJf1YqD_11032025175004_v3.53.0.csv

Success Report for Files Uploaded
