"The movement of data from one storage system to another." (Tom Petrocelli, "Data Protection and Information Lifecycle Management", 2005)

"Form- and function-preserving movement of data between locations or formats, which can take one of three forms: (1) from one physical system or location to another; (2) from one physical format to another; or (3) from one logical format to another." (David G Hill, "Data Protection: Governance, Risk Management, and Compliance", 2009)

"Moving a specific set of data from one system to the other. It contains a source system where the data resides prior to the migration, criteria determining the scope of data to be migrated, a transformation that the data will go through, and a destination system where the data will be inserted after."
