Overview
Alibaba Cloud Data Online Migration is a data channel between different storage services. Data Online Migration can be used to migrate data from third-party data stores to OSS or between OSS buckets.
To use Data Online Migration, you need to only log on to the Data Online Migration console, specify information about the source and destination OSS buckets, and then create a migration task. After the migration task starts, you can manage the task in the console. For example, you can view the progress and traffic information of the task.

Migration workflow
The following figure shows the migration process.
To ensure data security and consistency, we recommend that you use HTTPS URLs.
After a migration job is complete, you must check whether the data at the destination data address is consistent with the data at the source data address.
Make sure that you verify the migrated data at the destination data address after a migration job is complete. If you delete the data at the source data address before you verify the migrated data at the destination data address, you are liable for the losses and consequences caused by any data loss.
Process of creating a migration task
The following figure shows how to create a migration task.
Data is read from the source data address during a migration task. In this case, you are charged for outbound Internet traffic by the storage service provider of the source data address.
