Data Migration ToolsMove Your Data From Any Source to the Target You Need
Every Univik migration reads the source directly, keeps folders, metadata and structure intact, then writes to your target. Whether the source is a file, an application or a server, there is a clean path to where you want the data to live.
The Framework
Migration is defined by where the data starts and where it lands. Source runs down the side, target runs across the top. Pick the cell that matches your move.
Take one file format and turn it into another. Univik reads the source file directly, so the program that made it does not need to be installed. This is the most common move for email exports and mailbox files.
Take an export file and load it into a running program, so the mail or data appears live inside the target. These tools are on the way to Univik.
Pull data out of a program, database or archive and write it to a portable file. Univik reads the source at a low level, so it works even on offline, detached or corrupt data.
Database to File
Email Archive to File

Mail Client to File
Move data straight from one system to another, such as a database engine swap or an email platform change. This is the deepest migration, since both the data and its structure have to fit the new home.
Database to Database
Email Server to Email Server
The Method
Every direction follows the same three moves under the hood.
1. Read the Source
Univik opens the source file, database or archive directly. For file based moves the original program does not even need to be installed.
2. Preserve the Structure
Folders, metadata, timestamps and schema carry across so the target lines up with the source with nothing dropped.
3. Write the Target
The data is written to the target format or loaded into the target system, ready to open and use straight away.
Help & Support
The basics of moving data with Univik.
Data migration is the move of data from one place to another, such as a file into a new format, an application into a file or one application into another. Univik reads the source, keeps the structure intact and writes it to the target you pick.
Univik covers four directions. File to file changes one format to another. File to application loads a file into a live program. Application to file exports a program or database to a file. Application to application moves data straight from one system to another.
For file based moves, no. Univik reads formats like OST, MBOX and MDF straight from disk, so the original program does not need to be installed or running. This is what lets it work on offline and orphaned files.
Yes. Univik opens the source read only and never changes it. Every result is written to new files or a new target, so the original stays exactly as it was and you can rerun the job any time.
Pick file migration when you have export files and want a portable format like PST or CSV. Pick application migration when you want the data to land inside a running program or database ready to use. The matrix above maps each Univik tool to the right direction.
