- Backup/Recycle Bin: Enable this option to migrate files to a backup or recycle bin instead of overwriting or skipping, providing an extra layer of data safety.

Step 9: On the Settings page, you can configure advanced migration options to optimize performance and reliability:
- User Thread Count: Determines how many users’ drives are migrated at the same time. For example, setting it to 3 will process only three users concurrently.
- Item Thread Count: Controls how many files or items are migrated simultaneously for each user.
- User Login Attempts: Specifies how many times the software will retry logging in if a login fails due to network or connection issues.
- User Drive Item Retrieve Attempts: Sets the number of attempts the software will make to retrieve a file before marking it as failed.
- Bad Items Count: Defines the maximum number of failed items allowed for a user. Once this limit is reached, the migration for that user stops automatically.

- Monthly: Run the migration monthly or on selected months and dates.
