How to transfer data from a Subscription in one tenant to a container in another tenant

Spuran Yarram 0 Microsoft Employee

Team,
We have a scenario to migrate data from a container in one tenant to another tenant.
The DataFramework option we explored does not work in the new tenant. Are there any other options to get this ?

Hi @Spuran Yarram

Thanks for the Question and using Microsoft Q&A

As per my understanding, you want transfer data from a Subscription in one tenant to a container in another tenant.

to move Resources from one tenant to another tenant, you can use azure storage explorer what you have to do is.

Get the snapshot or Backup of the VM or Disk (This is for safe).

Stop the VM.

To get started we need to launch the Storage Explorer and Add accounts from both Tenants which has permissions in the Subscriptions under Accounts.

Browse the Source disk and Copy and Past in to the Target tenant Resource Group

Navigate to the Azure Portal > Resource Groups open the resource group where you have copied to disk to and click on the newly copied disk.

Create a VM using the Disk to move the storage account to another tenant you can use the

same too which azure storage explorer

Hi @Spuran Yarram

Copying data between Cosmos DB containers in different tenants can be support, but bit complex.

Step 1: Set Up Access

Source Tenant: Ensure you have read access to the source Cosmos DB container.

Destination Tenant: Ensure you have write access to the destination Cosmos DB container.

Step 2: Export Data from Source Container.

Step 3: Import Data to Destination Container.

Step 4: Verify Data Transfer

Alternative: Using Azure Data Factory

Create a Data Factory: In the Azure portal, create a new Data Factory.

Create Linked Services: Set up linked services for both the source and destination Cosmos DB accounts.

Create a Pipeline: Create a pipeline with a copy activity to transfer data from the source to the destination container.

Please refer the documentation link, it might be helpful to you
