Abstract
A method for enhancing data migration via a Migration Manager is described. The method includes evaluating activity data corresponding to a particular set of data or a particular source device subject to data migration in order to determine whether a scheduled data migration can be performed. If the particular set of data or particular source device is currently being used, the scheduled data migration can be rescheduled. In other embodiments, the activity data can also be used to automatically schedule data migrations via the Migration Manager.
