1. A method, comprising:
receiving a user input to configure a destination mobile device based on a current state of a source mobile device;
storing first user data objects received from the source mobile device to a first storage location on the destination mobile device, wherein system data objects of the source mobile device are excluded from the first user data objects;
in response to the user input, rebooting the destination mobile device into a configuration mode that allows for exclusive access to at least one storage medium of the destination mobile device;
while in the configuration mode, moving each of the first user data objects from the first storage location to second storage locations corresponding to their respective relative locations without moving the system data objects of the source mobile device; and
in response to completing the moving, rebooting, without additional user input, the destination mobile device causing subsequent access requests to the first user data objects to be processed in their respective relative locations on the destination mobile device.
