Storage mode	Description
`inplace`	The binary image data remains in its original location. The target MSR system must be configured to use the same external storage as the source MSR system. Refer to Configure external storage for more information. Important Due to its ability to handle large amounts of data, Mirantis recommends the use of `inplace` storage mode for most migration scenarios.
`copy`	The binary image data is copied from the source system to a local directory on the workstation that is running MMT. This mode allows movement from one storage location to another. It is especially useful in air-gapped environments.
