How MxMigrate works

MxMigrate is a WinForm application built on .NET 3.5 and SQL Server Management Object (SMO). It consists of a single executable, MxMigrate.exe, that can be launched from either a node in the Matrix Server cluster or a third system that has network connectivity to both the source and target server. One node in the cluster is used as the target server.
