Hi, I am planning a migration between 2 single servers using Migration Toolkit. I expect this migration will take many hours or even days due to the large amount of files to transfer (about 800 GB). Unfortunately I do not have direct access to the server and will connect via SSH and would like to avoid the process from stopping if the SSH connection drops. I would like to know if there is a way to run the command in the background. I tried with nohup but this way I cannot answer the questions of the Migration Tool. I cannot use Screen and Tmux. Can you give me some advice? Grazie fabrizio
Running it in the background won't work as you can not answer questions then, using the screen command works fine. You should try to find a way to use the screen command. In case the connection drops, then just start the migration again, just take care to let the migration tool overwrite existing records. And when you finished first complete migration, you can use the resync function which will copy changes files only, so a resync will just take a few minutes even with your server size.
Unfortunately I can't install Screen. If I could just set Migrate as default instead of Dry, that would fix it. Is there a way to set Migrate as default?
