Before you restore

An import replaces destination content. Keep a backup of anything on the destination that cannot be recreated.

Import

  1. Install MigrateNest on the destination.
  2. Open MigrateNest → Migrate in.
  3. Select the archive.
  4. Review the destination and overwrite warning.
  5. Start the import and allow each restore stage to complete.

Large files upload in chunks. If authentication changes during restore, sign in using the credentials stored in the restored source database and continue.
