Duplication can be used to perform COMPLETE migrations moving data off the origin media onto media / storage under the control of the Destination server. If this option is used, the migration will take longer while all selected images are converted, but at the end of we will be able to decommission the Tranzman Appliance.
If Duplication is not used the migration will be completed quicker and all data on legacy media will be converted on demand, in this case the Tranzman server can not be decommissioned until data has either expired or has been manually duplicated.
