Migration Overview

With DRS, you can migrate data from sources to destinations in real time. You create a replication instance to connect to both the source and destination and configure objects to be migrated. DRS will help you compare metrics and data between source and destination, so you can determine the best time to switch to the destination database while minimizing service downtime.

DRS supports incremental migration, so you can replicate ongoing changes to keep sources and destinations in sync while minimizing the impact of service downtime and migration.
