Abstract
A system (and method) discloses migrating data of a first client device to a second client device. A second client device transmits configuration information of the second client device to a remote server. The remote server compares this data to data from the first client device that was previously sent to the remote server from the first client device. The remote server prepares data that is in a format that is compatible with hardware or software configuration of the second client device and that corresponds to the data from the first client device. Thereafter, the remote server transmits this data to the second client device, which uses it to initialize (e.g., restore or reinitialize) the second client device.
