This topic describes what you need to prepare before migration.

Precautions

If the account that hosts Apsara File Storage NAS is different from the account that hosts Object Storage Service (OSS), log on to the Data Transport console with the account that hosts NAS to create an NAS data address.

Estimate the amount of data to be migrated.

Estimate the size and the number of files to be migrated. Log on to the OSS console, click the name of the bucket to be migrated, and then check the size and number of objects (files).
Note To ensure a successful migration, you must enter an appropriate size and number of files when you create a migration job.
