Moonwalk (dance) Moonwalk (dance) The moonwalk is a dance move in which the dancer moves backwards while seemingly walking forwards. A popping move, the moonwalk became popular around the world after Michael Jackson performed it during a performance of "Billie Jean" on "," broadcast May 16, 1983. It became his signature move. An illusion is involved in creating the appearance of the dancer gliding backwards. Initially, the front foot is held flat on the ground, while the back foot is in a tiptoe position. The flat front foot remains on the ground but is slid lightly and smoothly backward past the tip-toe
Moonwalk (software) Moonwalk (software) Moonwalk is an Enterprise HSM and file archiving software product developed by Moonwalk Universal. Moonwalk allows scheduled copy, move and migration (archive) of files from source file systems to alternative storage platforms. Datasets to be actioned can be selected using rules, identified by location, name, file extension, size, age, owner and other attributes. File migration to archival storage is transparent to users. File operations may also be triggered using Moonwalk's extensive REST API. Applications and users access migrated (archived) files via stub files which remain at their original file system location and retain original file security and metadata.
