Executive Summary
Avamar Data Migration Enabler (ADMe) is a software tool for migrating Avamar backup data to a different storage medium,
such as tape, cloud storage, or standalone USB drives.

Backup data selected for migration is rehydrated to a staging server, where it can be staged to the various storage types, or
export to tape using a tape backup product such as EMC NetWorker.

For recovery, migrated files can then be retrieved from storage or restored from tape using the backup application's native
recovery tools.
