Abstract
One or more techniques and/or systems are provided for migrating a dataset from a file storage system to an object storage system. That is, a snapshot of a file system may be received from the file storage system. The snapshot may comprise file data associated with a file of the file system. The file may be converted into an object using the file data. The object may be stored within a data constituent volume of the object storage system. A namespace volume, used to track objects, may be populated with a redirector that maps a front-end data path (e.g., a path used by clients to reference the object) to a back-end data path that specifies a path to the object within the data constituent volume. In this way, a dataset of one or more files may be migrated from the file storage system to the object storage system.
