PFMigrate Utility

Introduction to PFMigrate

PFMigrate (v2.0) is a utility that you can use to migrate all of the clients, access and encryption policies from ProtectFile (PF) to CipherTrust Transparent Encryption (CTE) in CipherTrust Manager (CM). This is the first step for the migration from PF to CTE.

The command-line interface creates CTE resources corresponding to the existing PF resources on the CipherTrust Manager.

You can migrate single, multiple, or all ProtectFile clients by providing a list of PF clients in a predefined input file for migration. You can also preview the result before migration by running the utility in Dry Run mode.

The migration process migrates only the CM configuration and encrypted data. The entire ProtectFile configuration consists of:

• Keys

• Encryption rules

• Access policies on KeySecure

• Offline policies on each file server

• Configuration files (Linux)

• Registry settings (Windows) on each file server

• Encrypted data on local disks, NAS or clusters

• Log files
