Instructions
It is possible to delete an ongoing Migration Path from Datadobi and recreate the path again.
This procedure is not disruptive, and the recreated Migration path will continue from the location you stopped, which means that it will be like any incremental copy, it will only scan the difference and migrate it.
Also it will not take more license capacity, it will only take from the license the amount that is incrementally copied.
Inorder to delete and recreate the migration session, you must select the same source, and the same exact destination (Target) location
While adding the target path, a warning appears that the target is not Empty, this warning as it is normal to see, since the Target have already the data their, so it should not be a problem.
Be careful while you are ignoring the above warning, and make sure you are putting the correct target destination path, because if you mistakenly added different path that have a production data, Datadobi will delete the data.
