Data migration


Refers to the process of transferring data for storage into different types of computer platforms or systems. For example data initially stored onto floppy-drives may be transferred into CDs or DVDs. Data migration can be dictated by a variety of factors, from a technology becoming obsolete (such as the floppy-drive), to the need to upgrade or replace a system.
