Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about planning and executing migrations with Kare®- 360° Data Migration.
Pre-Migration & Scope
What platforms can Kare®- 360° Data Migration connect between?
It provides bi-directional migration across Google Workspace, Microsoft 365/OneDrive, Dropbox Enterprise, Zoho, Apple iCloud, and Yahoo.
What specific data workloads can be moved?
Cloud drive files, nested folders, shared drives, emails, contacts, calendars, tasks, and SSO identity metadata.
Does the tool require local server installation or desktop agents?
No. It is a 100% cloud-native SaaS tool that runs direct cloud-to-cloud transfers without consuming local hardware or office network bandwidth.
Can I test the tool before purchasing a license?
Yes. A free trial is available instantly to validate platform connectivity, file mapping, and speeds.
Transfer Reliability & "Atomic" Engine
What makes Atomic Data Transfer different from standard migration tools?
Instead of streaming whole monolithic files that restart from 0% if disconnected, it breaks files into stateless micro-chunks and transfers them independently.
What happens if a network interruption occurs mid-transfer?
The engine automatically retries only the specific micro-chunks that failed, rather than re-transferring the whole file from the beginning.
How does the tool prevent cloud transfer throttling and bans?
It uses Smart Exponential Backoff and dynamic transfer throttling to scale transfer concurrency in real time against vendor quota limits.
Can migration jobs be paused and resumed manually?
Yes. Admins can pause, reprioritize, or resume active jobs on demand from the management console without corrupting transfers.
Security, Privacy & Integrity
How is data protected during transit?
All data streams between cloud endpoints are encrypted using TLS 1.3 cryptographic protocols.
How are stored credentials and access tokens secured?
Tokens, configuration profiles, and database records are encrypted at rest using AES-256 military-grade encryption.
Does Kare®- 360° Data Migration store or read file contents?
No. Transfers run via stateless memory buffers; your payload data is never permanently written, inspected, or stored on host servers.
How does the system mathematically verify zero data loss?
It calculates MD5 and SHA-256 cryptographic hashes at both source and destination to prove bit-for-bit file integrity.
Is the platform compliant with strict enterprise audit requirements?
Yes. Cryptographic verification, zero-trust architecture, and complete CSV event logging provide verifiable proof of chain of custody for auditors.
Permissions, Folders & File Mapping
Are user sharing permissions and ACLs preserved?
Yes. It translates source permissions (e.g., Google Drive sharing roles or OneDrive permissions) to the equivalent access levels on the target cloud.
What happens to folder hierarchies and subfolder structures?
Full directory trees, nested paths, and file creation/modification timestamps are maintained across compatible destination services.
What happens if source files have name conflicts or invalid characters?
The engine sanitizes incompatible characters according to destination cloud rules while preserving original file paths in the audit log.
Progressive Migration Sync & Cutover Operations
Will end users experience downtime during the migration?
No. Initial transfers run silently in the background while users continue working normally in their existing accounts.
How does a progressive migration work?
After the initial bulk migration, a progressive migration compares hashes and timestamps to copy only new or modified items created before final cutover.
How many progressive migrations can I run?
You can run multiple progressive migrations depending on the to ensure zero data divergence.
What happens if a specific file fails or is corrupted at the source?
The engine logs the error, flags the exact file path in the audit report, and continues migrating remaining files without failing the batch.
Can I schedule migrations to run during non-business hours?
Yes. Batch jobs can be scheduled in advance to run during off-peak windows or specific weekend timelines.
Reporting, Monitoring & Enterprise Oversight
What metrics are visible on the live Activity Dashboard?
Admins can monitor live data throughput, active file transfers, pending queues, processed gigabytes, and real-time error counts.
What information is included in the CSV audit report?
The report details every file moved, skipped, or failed, along with exact timestamps, source paths, destination paths, and hash status.
Email, Contacts & Calendar Specifics
Are email folder structures and labels preserved?
Yes. Folder trees and label structures (such as Gmail labels translating to Exchange/Outlook folders) are converted during transfer.
What happens to email read/unread statuses and flags?
Message metadata, including read/unread flags, timestamps, and attachment associations, are preserved in the destination mailbox.
Can recurring calendar events and meeting invites be migrated?
Yes. Single and recurring calendar entries, attendees, reminders, and event descriptions are mapped across calendar protocols.
How are contact groups and address books handled?
Contact cards, custom fields, notes, and organizational contact groups are transferred to target contact directories.
Can tasks and to-do lists be migrated alongside emails?
Yes. Supported cloud platforms allow task lists, due dates, and completion statuses to migrate to destination task apps.
Licensing, Capacity & Support
How is licensing calculated?
Licensing is based on the number of source id and destination id pairs for migration of different data types.
Is there a maximum file size limit for individual items?
The platform handles large single files (e.g., large archives or video files) up to the destination cloud vendor's maximum single-file upload limit.
What level of technical support is provided for enterprise cutovers?
Pinsoftek® provides dedicated engineering support via
support@pinsoftek.com, including architecture reviews and priority troubleshooting for enterprise plans.
