# Move-VBOEntityData

## Short Description
Moves organization data from a JET-based backup repository to another JET-based backup repository or object storage repository.

## Syntax

This cmdlet provides the following parameter sets:

<ul class="syntax-sets">
  <li>
    <p><code>UserOptionsParameterSet</code></p>

```
Move-VBOEntityData -From <VBORepository> -To <VBORepository> -User <VBOUserData> [-Mailbox] [-ArchiveMailbox]
 [-OneDrive] [-Sites] [-NoDelete] [-RunAsync] [-WhatIf] [-Confirm] [<CommonParameters>]
```
  </li>
  <li>
    <p><code>GroupOptionsParameterSet</code></p>

```
Move-VBOEntityData -From <VBORepository> -To <VBORepository> -Group <VBOGroupData> [-Mailbox] [-ArchiveMailbox]
 [-OneDrive] [-Sites] [-GroupMailbox] [-GroupSite] [-NoDelete] [-RunAsync]
 [-WhatIf] [-Confirm] [<CommonParameters>]
```
  </li>
  <li>
    <p><code>SiteOptionsParameterSet</code></p>

```
Move-VBOEntityData -From <VBORepository> -To <VBORepository> -Site <VBOSiteData> [-NoDelete] [-RunAsync]
 [-WhatIf] [-Confirm] [<CommonParameters>]
```
  </li>
  <li>
    <p><code>TeamOptionsParameterSet</code></p>

```
Move-VBOEntityData -From <VBORepository> -To <VBORepository> -Team <VBOTeamData> [-NoDelete] [-RunAsync]
 [-WhatIf] [-Confirm] [<CommonParameters>]
```
  </li>
</ul>

## Detailed Description
This cmdlet moves the organization data between repositories and supports the following scenarios:

- Data move from one JET-based backup repository to another JET-based backup repository.
- Data move from a JET-based backup repository to an object storage repository.

::: important

Consider the following:

- Data move is not supported for object storage repositories with the enabled data immutability.
- Data move from an object storage repository to another object storage repository (including the object storage repository specified as target for backup copy jobs) or a JET-based backup repository is not supported.
- Target backup repository or an object storage repository where you want to move backed-up data must not contain any data associated with the items that you want to move.
- If the move process was interrupted, make sure to resume your data move before starting backup jobs to back up data to the source or target backup repository.
- As data is being moved, Veeam Backup for Microsoft 365 removes items from the source backup repository and replaces them with the whitespace in the source backup repository database. Use the `NoDelete` parameter to disable data remove.

`<CommonParameters>`

This cmdlet supports Microsoft PowerShell common parameters. For more information on common parameters, see the [About Common Parameters](http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkID=113216) section of Microsoft Learn.

## Examples

::: example
### Example 1: Moving User Data

This example shows how to move data of a user with the name *Chuck Brown* from one JET-based backup repository to another.

```
$repository = Get-VBORepository -Name "ABC Daily Backup"
$destination = Get-VBORepository -Name "Support North"
$user = Get-VBOEntityData -Type User -Repository $repository -Name "Chuck Brown"
Move-VBOEntityData -From $repository -To $destination -User $user -Mailbox -ArchiveMailbox -OneDrive -Sites
```

Perform the following steps:

1. Run the [`Get-VBORepository`](get-vborepository.md) cmdlet with the `Name` parameter to get the source backup repository. Save the result to the `$repository` variable.
2. Run the [`Get-VBORepository`](get-vborepository.md) cmdlet with the `Name` parameter to get the target backup repository. Save result to the `$destination` variable.
3. Run the [`Get-VBOEntityData`](get-vboentitydata.md) cmdlet with the `Name` parameter and the `$repository` variable. Save result to the `$user` variable.
4. Run the `Move-VBOEntityData` cmdlet with the `$repository`, `$destination` and `$user` variables and `Mailbox`, `ArchiveMailbox`, `OneDrive` and `Sites` parameters to move the data to the specified backup repository.

::: example
### Example 2: Moving Group Data

This example shows how to move data of an organization group with the name *Support* from one JET-based backup repository to another.

```
$repository = Get-VBORepository -Name "ABC Daily Backup"
$destination = Get-VBORepository -Name "Support North"
$group = Get-VBOEntityData -Type Group -Repository $repository -Name "Support"
Move-VBOEntityData -From $repository -To $destination -Group $group -Mailbox -ArchiveMailbox -OneDrive -Sites -GroupMailbox -GroupSite
```

Perform the following steps:

1. Run the [`Get-VBORepository`](get-vborepository.md) cmdlet with the `Name` parameter to get the source backup repository. Save the result to the `$repository` variable.
2. Run the [`Get-VBORepository`](get-vborepository.md) cmdlet with the `Name` parameter to get the target backup repository. Save result to the `$destination` variable.
3. Run the [`Get-VBOEntityData`](get-vboentitydata.md) cmdlet with the `Name` parameter and the `$repository` variable. Save result to the `$group` variable.
4. Run the `Move-VBOEntityData` cmdlet with the `$repository`, `$destination` and `$group` variables and `Mailbox`, `ArchiveMailbox`, `OneDrive`, `Sites`, `GroupMailbox` and `GroupSite` parameters to move the data to the specified backup repository.

:::

::: example
### Example 3: Moving Site Data

This example shows how to move data of an organization site with the name *Support* from one JET-based backup repository to another.

```
$repository = Get-VBORepository -Name "ABC Daily Backup"
$destination = Get-VBORepository -Name "Support North"
$site = Get-VBOEntityData -Type Site -Repository $repository -Name "Support"
Move-VBOEntityData -From $repository -To $destination -Site $site
```

Perform the following steps:

1. Run the [`Get-VBORepository`](get-vborepository.md) cmdlet with the `Name` parameter to get the source backup repository. Save the result to the `$repository` variable.
2. Run the [`Get-VBORepository`](get-vborepository.md) cmdlet with the `Name` parameter to get the target backup repository. Save result to the `$destination` variable.
3. Run the [`Get-VBOEntityData`](get-vboentitydata.md) cmdlet with the `Name` parameter and the `$repository` variable. Save result to the `$site` variable.
4. Run the `Move-VBOEntityData` cmdlet with the `$repository`, `$destination` and `$site` variables to move the data to the specified backup repository.

::: example
### Example 4: Moving User Data to Object Storage Repository

This example shows how to move the *Chuck Brown* user data from a JET-based backup repository to an object storage repository.

```
$source = Get-VBORepository -Name "ABC Daily Backup"
$target = Get-VBORepository -Name "Object Storage"
$user = Get-VBOEntityData -Type User -Repository $source -Name "Chuck Brown"
Move-VBOEntityData -From $source -To $target -User $user -Mailbox -ArchiveMailbox -RunAsync
```

Perform the following steps:

1. Run the [`Get-VBORepository`](get-vborepository.md) cmdlet with the `Name` parameter to get the source backup repository. Save the result to the `$source` variable.
