Abstract: A data migration tool cooperates with a script file defining, for one or more products, one or more criteria for files to be captured to a backup store from a machine to be migrated, an indication of where the files should be stored in the backup store and any criteria for files to be excluded from the backup store. The tool scans a storage medium for the machine to be migrated and retrieves one or more file names. Responsive to file names fitting any product exclusion criteria, the tool skips the files and, responsive to file names fitting any one of the one or more product capture criteria, the tool captures the files to the backup store according to the indication of where the files should be stored.
