Setup guide

From empty server to cutover ready.

Extract the protected toolkit, double-click Start Migration Vault, then follow the five guided screens. No PowerShell typing is required.

01 · Server

Prepare the vault

  1. Use an encrypted NTFS or ReFS volume with adequate space.
  2. Create a dedicated Migration Vault Operators group.
  3. Open the Prepare vault screen in the Windows app.
  4. Click Preview setup and review capacity and encryption.
  5. Click Create vault, then verify the generated receipt.

02 · Source PC

Run the initial backup

  1. Connect through the customer LAN or an approved VPN.
  2. Select explicit user folders—never an entire system disk.
  3. Review cloud placeholders, locked files, and free space.
  4. Click Start verified backup; the app remembers the job ID.
  5. Open Verify and require a cutover-ready result.

03 · Remote prep

Keep the vault current

  1. Reopen the job and click backup again to capture a delta.
  2. Hydrate cloud-only files before the final remote run.
  3. Collect installers and record customer sign-ins.
  4. Run the guided cutover check before traveling.

04 · On site

Restore and accept

  1. Run a final guided backup before leaving the old PC.
  2. Choose a clean destination and click Restore with verification.
  3. Verify hashes before placing files into user folders.
  4. Complete sign-ins, hardware, printers, and application tests.
  5. Keep the old PC and vault copy until acceptance is recorded.
