Recalling files
When users select a released file on the file server, FMA automatically recalls the file. Specifically, FMA must recall files when the “system” process reads the file contents. In addition, you can recall the file manually using the Explorer plugin.
If a file is migrated to multiple archives and FMA releases the file, the file is recalled from the last location to which it was migrated. The last location contains the most recent version of the file contents.
To recall files or folders using the Explorer plugin
1.In Windows Explorer, select the objects you want to recall and
2.In the context menu, select Recall.
3.In the Processing results dialog box, click OK.
Moving files to another managed volume

To move files to another managed volume
1.Ensure that the FMA archive configuration is identical on both file servers.
2.Obtain the robocopy.exe utility Version XP010 or higher by installing the Microsoft Resource Kit.
3.Add the NoRecRobocopy process name to the FMA registry key:
4.Restart the File Migration Agent configuration service and File Migration Agent service.
5.Stop sharing the subfolder you want to move to avoid user access during relocation.
6.Ensure that all data is backed up.
7.Stop the File Migration Agent AFM service. This ensures that no migration jobs are running during the relocation process. If the target location is another FMA file server, stop the File Migration Agent AFM service on the other file server as well.
8.Disable the files in the source folder. Here is an example:
FMACLI act
To check whether the files are set to DIS (DISABLED), use the following command:
FMACLI info
9.Copy the files using the robocopy command. Here is an example: robocopy e:\homedir f:\homedir /E /SEC /COPYALL /B
10.Ensure that all files have been copied successfully to the target location.
11.Activate the files in the target folder.
