@shyamasundar-ks ,

To sync content from author to author please use below 2 tools if you are having large amount of data.

1. Create a package  and install it in author - if you have small amount of data.

2. Use Adobe recommended tools such as Grabbit and File Valut tools to synccontent if you have large data.

Please find below information to understand and configure above mentioned tools in AEM.

I hope this helps.

I've used both of them and both works great in syncing content.

With just single configuration you can sync any type of content.

I hope this helps.

Thanks,

Aruna

Hi @SantoshSai, Did you have any issues in using Grabbit with AEM 6.5 ?

Per Grabbit Github repo below, latest version is v7.1.5 released 2 years ago and support is mentioned till AEM version 6.3

@Aruna_surukunta_ - If I want to transfer not the entire content nodes but only selected assets (say videos) from one instance to another.

Won't Replication Agent provide better advantage over File Vault ?

As File Vault does not allow selective content sync, I think Replication might be a better way for my use case. Please let me know your inputs!

Thanks,
