ABSTRACT:
Methods and apparatus for migrating a data set. In one embodiment, a migration is paused. In another embodiment, for a migration of data between multiple source/target groups, the migration is initiated by beginning transfer for some groups and queuing others for later processing. In a further embodiment, different transfer vehicles are used for different source/target groups. In a still further embodiment, a transfer vehicle is automatically selected for at least one source/target group.
