Abstract
A method comprises selecting at least a given stub file of one or more stub files for migration from a source storage location to a target storage location. The selection of the given stub file is based at least in part on a database entry comprising source storage location path information for the given stub file. The one or more stub files correspond to one or more archived files, and the one or more stub files and one or more non-stub files are stored in the source storage location. In the method, the given stub file is migrated to the target storage location without migrating the one or more non-stub files to the target storage location. The method further includes modifying the database entry by replacing the storage location path information with target storage location path information for the given stub file.
