SharePoint 2013 migration using ShareGate
-
Hi Friends, :) Kindly answer to these questions 1. Can we migrate content database and site collections separately using sharegate? 2. Do we need to migrate only site collections in ShareGate without migrating a databases? -Thanks, Nagabhushan
1. Migration would be better thru backup and restore and powershell migration routines. I get though if you are trying to jump from 2013 to 2019 and don't have a good 2016 instance to have in between. ShareGate is primarily a copy and merge tool as well as Security for SharePoint. 2. Yes you could do this if you only have certain sites you want to move around. It won't be extremely fast but it will work. All in all. ShareGate is a fantastic tool. I like it alot. But it isn't always fast.

Answering your question, Sharegate does not support Content Database however you can migrate Site collections. No need to migrate any database. SharePoint is a big and complex beast and you surely recommend you to possess the Site Collection Administrator rights on your source Site Collection. I hope this helps! Ben Martin
