Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention provide a memory data migration method and apparatus, and a computer, to migrate memory data that is in the computer. After acquiring a first trigger instruction, an operating system of the computer can suspend a task that is being executed, to execute memory data migration, determine a source memory card that stores to-be-migrated memory data, determine a backup memory card for the source memory card, and instruct a memory controller associated with the source memory card to perform the memory data migration, so that the memory controller associated with the source memory card reads memory data of the source memory card according to an instruction of the operating system, and writes the read memory data of the source memory card into the backup memory card.
