Manage migration
A set of organized tasks designed to achieve the periodic transfer of digital material from one hardware/software configuration to another, or from one generation of computer technology to a subsequent generation.
- Migration includes refreshing as a means of preservation
- Refreshing is the copying of digital information from one medium to another
- However, it is not always possible to make an exact digital copy of an object as hardware and software change and still maintain the compatibility of the object with new technology
