## Description

Duplicate File Name error is caused by having 2 files with the same name

{% hint style="info" %}
During the scan stage of a migration (the first step), Movebot will perform checks to ensure your data will transfer properly. One of these checks is the paths of files - there is a chance some of your files have the same path as another one of your files
{% endhint %}

## Common Root Causes

* The file has the same path as another file 

## Quick Fixes

* Nothing needs to be done to resolve this - we perform de-duplication to ensure that your files do not end up with the same path
* De-duplication causes the file name to be renamed and prefixed with (Dup 1), (Dup 2), etc  

After attempting a fix, rerun failures or run a new delta migration to see if the error is resolved.
