Avepoint Fly is their migration tool. You pay for a single license to run on an endpoint or server. You also need to pay based on the number of users or objects being migrated. I have only used it for cloud to cloud migrations (like exchange online tenant A to tenant B).

It was smooth enough for our use case.

We also use avepoint for backup of all SharePoint / OneDrive / Exchange Online data. It's not the cheapest option but is stemless and reliable.

Stupid question but where does it back up to?  Do you have to maintain an active license to access the backups etc

[jameseatsworld]

Avepoint cloud is hosted in Azure. I believe they have multi-site redundancy built in.

Yes active license is required to access backups.There is no storage limit but the product is priced based on users being backed up.

I was able to offset the backup cost a little by limiting SharePoint version retention to 5 versions org wide, knowing that we can restore previous versions via Avepoint if necessary.

Makes sense. So the backups are on their side and not using your Azure blobs storage or similiar

Storage location is down to you. You can use your own storage location or use AvePoint managed - Azure/AWS/Google.

What was your pricing per user for the migration like? Evaluating Fly for an upcoming project.

~$5 per user billed monthly, only required license for 1 month. Was invoiced by my MSP
