    Abstract: System and method for migrating data from a source storage site to a destination storage site. The data may be comprised within storage objects (e.g., flexible volumes). A base storage object may comprise a parent storage object and a storage object clone may comprise a storage object that is derived from the base storage object. As such, a hierarchical relationship exists between the base storage object and the storage object clone. The storage object clone may comprise a writable point-in-time image of the parent storage object. If a migration of the base storage object and the storage object clone is performed, then the hierarchical relationship between the base storage object and the storage object clone is retained after the storage objects are migrated from the source storage site to the destination storage site. As such, the system and method for migrating data may enable storage space and network bandwidth savings.
