Migrating Data To Another Capacity Tier

Such a migration can be done under the following scenarios:

• Migrating data between different cloud providers

To be used to migrate data from one object storage provider to another. For example, you may have been using an Amazon S3 object storage repository for quite some time and decided to change it to Azure BLOB storage or any other storage provider.

• Migrating data between different buckets

To be used to migrate data between different buckets of the same cloud provider.
