I have to migrate data from CRM 4.0 to MS CRM Online & customer has around 35GB data now my question is which would be the best way to migrate the data?

A: Using CRM 4.0 Data Migration Manager to export the data & then using import the data using ConfigurationMigration? Is that be viable solution? B: Export the data from CRM 4.0 using Data Migration Manager & then upload it using SSIS or custom code?

Any idea how much time usual it should take to upload that much data (35GB this includes Account, Appointments, Lead & few custom entities)

We had a similar need and extended an existing open source project to migrate (almost) all the CRM entities.

We published it here: https://github.com/marcopierobon/CrmChainsaw

We had a smaller DB to migrate (5GB) and it took around 48 hours. The main problem is the CRM endpoint that is pretty slow, so it's really difficult to make it faster.

  • I am downloading the project from Github but can you tell me how are you taking the data into the program? – Deep Nov 04 '15 at 08:38
  • You use the Reference Data Transporter tool to migrate the data (the tool preserves the Guid of the records, so the relationships can be recreated). – MaPi Nov 04 '15 at 08:40

You should look into Scribe (www.scribesoft.com) and Kingswaysoft (http://www.kingswaysoft.com/products/ssis-integration-toolkit-for-microsoft-dynamics-crm)

These companies both provide tools for migrating data into Dynamics CRM.
