Abstract
Embodiments of a system and method for migrating data from a first cloud network provided from a first cloud service provider (CSP) and a second cloud network provided by a second CSP. The method reads and packs only live data containers from the first cloud using a Garbage Collection (GC) process. It performs a collection replication process replicating a local container set (CSET) from the first cloud network to the second cloud network, and replicates data containers from the first cloud network to the second cloud network. It then uses a container manager process to write data containers on the second cloud network.
