I tried the datastore migration tool today from one test environment to 
another and it went through smoothly. But it doesn't appear it can be done 
more than once. I was hoping to test it out a few times before doing it in 
our production environment. But two things lead me to believe it's not 
possible:

1) It creates an alias from the old app ID to the new one and I don't see 
any way of reversing this
2) When you go to the migration tool after it's done, it shows the results 
from the previous migration but no way to restart it.

Assuming it can be done only once, I don't feel comfortable enough to use 
it. If something goes wrong during the migration (like, for instance, we 
miss something in testing that doesn't show up until after we migrate), 
we'd like an easy way to go back to the old app and continue on with it 
until the issue has been resolved.

What that in mind, has anyone tried the Copy Data to Another Application 
feature in the Datastore Admin console? Does that do the same thing as the 
migration tool (at least from a data perspective)?
