Electronic File Migration Research

In order to prevent because of outdated technology and carrier aging leads toinformation resources passive disappeared, the realization of electronic file long-termeffective availability, migration is the best way.Migration is the process of moving datafrom one information system or storage medium to another.It is a regular change astechnology changes and digital archives information format handling process. Atpresent, our country electronic file transfer studies have made some achievements, thedata file transfer in hospital, bank, office system step by step to carry out, NationalArchives Bureau also issued the" electronic file migration guide" draft. However, eachmigration time means that the source file will lose some information, in the fidelity ofprinciples should minimize migration times, unnecessary not migration. So how todetermine the timing of migration, the premise that managers need to migrate, becomethe implementation of migration of the first issue. Only the electronic file sourcetechnology environment and carrier problems or existing documents do not meet thefiling requirements when we move. The main theme of the thesis is maintained in theelectronic file authenticity, integrity and validity based on the archives management,guide the smooth development of migration. In this paper, the electronic file transferand the practice on the basis of research results, summed up the electronic file migrationprinciples and basic requirements, system put forward the electronic file migrationprocess, and to the text files, image files, audio files and video files are for example,instances of the demo.
