Abstract
A portion of contents of a database is received from a first server. The received contents of the database is stored in a secondary storage system that tracks changes between different backup versions of contents of the database. A request to migrate the contents of the database to a second server is received. A version of contents of the database is provided to the second server using the secondary storage system. The secondary storage system is configured to determine an amount of changes to the database content from one of the versions of the database content provided to the second server and the amount of changes is utilized in determining whether to quiesce the database hosted on the first server.
