Question about the move annotation feature #5

Closed san-86 closed 6 years ago

san-86 commented 6 years ago

If I use the move annotation feature, does it move text note to azure too ? or is it only annotations with files in it ?

san-86 commented 6 years ago

and is it possible to move it back to crm if we find out that its not working as we wanted.

It only moves the the binary portion, i.e. if there is an attachment on a note, it will move the attachment only. I have successfully migrated over a million attachments both ways multiple times in testing. So the answer is yes, you can move them back to the original server. The longer answer is as always : "Make a backup as well".

san-86, we have put the plugin into our production environment, we moved 280Gb from Dynamics Online to Azure Blob.

David,

I want to thank you for providing this feedback. The best possible thing anyone can do for an open source project is just to provide feedback, whether that's something good like you mentioned, questions/bug reports or even just that it's being used.

Thanks a lot for taking the time to comment here, it's really appreciated.

P.S. Migration speed depends a lot on your connection and datacenter locations. If you're already on dynamics online, having a VM in the same azure datacenter will speed things up a lot, since you don't have to move the data local and then back up again. Good tip though.
