Data Migrator

🌍 简体中文 | English

A convenient and fast data migration tool for batch migrating application data to other locations and creating links at the original location to ensure the migrated programs work properly.

Usage

1. Save DataMigrator.exe and RegisterOrUnregister.bat to a directory of your choice.

2. Right-click on RegisterOrUnregister.bat and select "Run as administrator".

3. Save the list of directories that need to be migrated as .ini file and rename the extension to .mil. The following demonstrate the file format for migrating SSH and VSCode data.

[SSH]
MappingDirectory=<UserProfile>\.ssh
StorageDirectory=SSH
Operation=Move

[VSCodeExtensions]
MappingDirectory=<UserProfile>\.vscode
StorageDirectory=VSCode\ExtensionsDir
Operation=Map

[VSCodeUserData]
MappingDirectory=<AppData>\Code
StorageDirectory=VSCode\UserDataDir
Operation=Map

4. Double-click on your .mil file and enjoy! If the directories you are migrating require elevated permissions, such as %ProgramFiles%, you will need to right-click and select "Run as administrator" to ensure the necessary access privileges.

Profile Format

The profile file follows the INI format.

MappingDirectory and StorageDirectory

Use angle brackets <> in the path to access environment variables. The following two paths are equivalent.

<ProgramFiles(x86)>\Common Files\Adobe
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe

Operation

• Move: Migrates the MappingDirectory to the StorageDirectory and links it, then changes the Operation to Map after the first run.
• Erase: Links the MappingDirectory to the StorageDirectory and clears both the MappingDirectory and StorageDirectory, then changes the Operation to Map after the first run.
• Map: Links the MappingDirectory to the StorageDirectory and clears the MappingDirectory if it is not empty.
