Data migration is the process of transferring data between different data formats, storage systems or computer systems. Organizations can initiate a data migration process due to various reasons:

*   To replace or upgrade servers or storage infrastructure

*   To move data between third-party cloud services (cloud data migration)
*   To perform infrastructure maintenance
*   To consolidate websites
*   To migrate databases or applications
*   To move data during a data center relocation or a merger
*   To install software upgrades

The data migration process requires preparation, extraction and transformation of data following a customized plan, depending on the company's goals and budget for the project.

## What our users say

Acronis Cyber Protect Home Office made cloning my old hard drive and moving to a new SSD a breeze. The cloning process was quick and simple, and I did not have to spend much time learning how to do it.

John A.

Verified user

I was always weary of backup software. It is bulky and complicated, and looks like it is designed for an astronaut. With Acronis, I finally found a tool to protect my data that I knew how to use from the first clicks.

Jessica C.

Verified user

Nothing is scarier than watching your documents turning into rubbish. I am so glad it takes one click to bring it back with Acronis.
