ARX migration Question - migrate files leaving the source in place
Does anyone have a suggestion for migrating data from one filesystem to another where the original files are left in place without using the ~acopia folder? I've been able to migrate data in the past...

File migration within an ARX virtualized filesystem only ever changes the storage location, not the file name. It is not possible to both "migrate" a file and "leave it", since that would create 2 files with the same name.
If what you want to do is copy data to a new file system, then perhaps shadow volume is what you want.
What are you attempting to accomplish with this file copy? Backup? retiring old storage? (Or put another way, why do you want to retain the files on the old location?)
