Automatic transfer of data from one Windows server to another is possible only when a specific connection is established between the servers. The connection is established by Migration & Transfer Manager installed on a destination server and the Migration & Transfer Agent utility on a source server, provided that they are configured identically.
Migration & Transfer Agent is a utility which transfers data from a source to a destination server. To learn how to install Migration & Transfer Agent on the server, see the section Installing Migration & Transfer Agent. If the default settings of Migration & Transfer Agent conflict with your network configuration (for example, you already use the default utility's port for some other purposes), you can change them as described in the section Configuring Migration & Transfer Agent on the Source Server. If you change the Migration & Transfer Agent settings, you should do the corresponding changes to the Migration & Transfer Manager configuration as described in the section Configuring Migration & Transfer Manager on the Destination Server.
