Over at the blogosphere, an interesting analogy lurks around that transferring data involving files from one computer to another is like mixing sets of liquors in one bottle.  There should be leakage and slippage of some amount even if you try very hard not to waste anything.  A drop or two of liquid, no matter how insignificant, will crawl down to the soil.  Loss of data usually happens if the data on the old machine did not go through data conversion software. Data conversion is the name of the process of importing and exporting data from one computer to another.  Data conversion software proceeds to keep the process possible.  As often the case, especially when you are transferring data from one application to another data, conversion means recording and transformation of data.  Hundreds of versions of data conversion tools are available for MS Windows, Unix, Linux, Novell and other operating systems.
