Abstract
The subject technology generally relates to migration of data. An example method includes determining, in response to determining that a source storage system satisfies a migration condition and based on used space of folders in a source file system on the source storage system, migration scores for the folders. The method further includes determining, from the folders, one or more folders to be migrated by sorting the migration scores. In addition, the method further includes migrating the one or more folders to a target file system. As a result of such data migration, by scoring and sorting a group of folders on a source file system and selecting the optimal one or more folders for migration, the migration of the entire file system is avoided, thereby reducing the overall cost of data migration and increasing the speed of data migration.
