Carbonite Migrate Basic

Entry-level server migration solution with real-time byte-level replication and near-zero downtime for files, folders, and full server moves between physical, virtual, and cloud.

Carbonite Migrate Basic is the entry-level server migration solution combining real-time byte-level replication, AES-256 encryption, near-zero downtime cutovers, and Files & Folder plus Full Server replication for Windows and Linux migrations.

Top Features

Real-time byte-level replication

Continuously replicates source server data to the target at the byte level, keeping systems in sync throughout the migration so cutover happens in seconds, not hours of downtime.

Files & Folder + Full Server

Migrate individual files and folders or full Windows and Linux servers between any physical, virtual, or cloud platform with one streamlined process automating the workflow.

AES-256 encrypted transfer

All migration data is encrypted in transit with AES-256 encryption between source and target, protecting sensitive workloads and complying with enterprise security standards on every job.

Beyond licensing, a seamless, fully supported Carbonite Migrate Basic experience with Discreet Vision.

Why Your Business Needs Carbonite Migrate Basic

Carbonite Migrate Basic isn't just file copy, it's an automated server migration platform with real-time byte-level replication that eliminates downtime, risk, and manual steps that traditional migrations require.

Near-Zero Downtime Cutovers: Real-time replication keeps the target server continuously synchronized with production, so the actual cutover takes seconds or minutes instead of hours of planned downtime.

Move Between Any Platforms: Migrate workloads to or from physical, virtual, and cloud environments including Azure, AWS, and on-premises hypervisors, eliminating platform lock-in for IT teams everywhere.

Test Before Final Cutover: Test cutovers can be performed at any time without disrupting the production source server, letting administrators validate the migrated target works before going live.

Lower Migration Risk: Automated, repeatable workflows replace error-prone manual scripted migrations, with bandwidth throttling, compression, and cutover orchestration through one unified Carbonite console.

Built for how modern IT teams migrate servers with no downtime.

Everything your business needs to migrate servers at enterprise scale, delivered in one entry-level migration platform covering real-time byte-level replication, AES-256 encryption, automated cutover orchestration, bandwidth controls, and Windows plus Linux support.

Real-Time Byte-Level Replication

Carbonite Migrate Basic uses efficient real-time byte-level replication to create a continuously synchronized replica of source data, files, applications, or full servers on the target system as changes occur. The replica mirrors all essential data including file permissions, attributes, file names, deletions, and encryption settings so the target is a perfect operational copy of the source. Replication maximizes bandwidth efficiency by sending the smallest chunks of changed data.

Files & Folder and Full Server Jobs

Migrate Basic supports both Files & Folder migration jobs for granular data movement and Full Server replication jobs for migrating complete Windows or Linux server workloads with operating system, applications, settings, and data intact. Choose the job type that matches your migration scope without paying for capabilities you don’t need. Both job types deliver the same near-zero downtime, real-time replication, and unified Carbonite Replication console management for any workload.

Cross-Platform Migration Flexibility

Migrate workloads to or from any combination of physical servers, virtual servers, and cloud platforms including Microsoft Azure, AWS, Google Cloud, VMware vSphere, Hyper-V, and on-premises infrastructure. Move from physical to virtual, virtual to cloud, cloud to cloud, or any other combination without platform restrictions or lock-in. Windows and Linux are both fully supported. Move data centers, modernize hardware, consolidate to virtual, or rehost to cloud while maintaining operations.

Cutover Automation & Testing

Test cutovers can be performed at any time without disrupting the production source server, letting administrators validate the migrated target works correctly before committing to live cutover. The actual production cutover is automated through the unified graphical console, with downtime limited to seconds or minutes. End users continue working on the source server right up until the cutover moment. If reverting to the original source becomes necessary, the rollback process is straightforward.

Security, Bandwidth & Console Management

AES-256 encryption protects all replication data in transit between source and target servers, meeting enterprise security and compliance requirements across regulated industries. Intelligent bandwidth controls including compression and throttling let you migrate during business hours without impacting production network performance. The unified Carbonite Replication console handles all migration jobs from initial discovery through testing, cutover, and post-migration validation.
