Hi,

You can use the Suspend-PublicFolderMigrationRequest cmdlet to suspend a migration request any time after the request was created, but before it reaches the status of CompletionInProgress. You can resume the migration request by using the Resume-PublicFolderMigrationRequest cmdlet.

In addition, I have found the below article about migration from Ex2007 to Ex2013, I suggest you can follow the guide to complete the migration.

We stopped migration because of another software that needed some fixes to work with new public folders. Since than a lot of new emails came to folders some folders were created/deleted and even exange server was rebooted. And now the migration status is "stopped" without promt for finalizing. Can I safely press start button again or do I have to recreate migration batch?
