We're in the middle of planning a Microsoft 365 tenant-to-tenant migration Tool project, and one issue that keeps coming up is duplicate data. Some users have already been migrated during testing, while others continue receiving new emails and updating files in OneDrive and SharePoint every day. Running multiple migration passes without creating duplicates is a major concern.
I've been comparing different solutions and recently looked into the MacSonik Office 365 Tenant-to-Tenant Migration Tool. One feature that caught my attention is its Skip Previously Migrated (Delta Migration) capability. Instead of copying everything again, it detects items that have already been migrated and transfers only new or modified data. That alone could save a lot of migration time and reduce storage consumption.
Another advantage is its built-in deduplication for emails, OneDrive, and SharePoint. The software uses metadata analysis and hash-based scanning to identify duplicate files and emails while preserving folder hierarchy, metadata, headers, and document structure. It even allows admins to preview emails before migration and apply filters such as sender, subject, or date range for more precise control.
For SharePoint and OneDrive, duplicate files can be identified by file properties or content, allowing administrators to retain either the latest or oldest version depending on business needs. Combined with advanced file filters based on extension, file size, and content type, it seems like a practical way to migrate only the data that actually matters.
The tool also uses OAuth 2.0, Microsoft Graph API, and encrypted HTTPS connections, while running entirely on the local machine instead of external servers. Real-time progress monitoring and detailed reports are additional features that seem useful for enterprise migrations.
