What to check
The source requires moving the existing version first, validating the destination and only then upgrading. A full move covers databases, document storage, full-text data and server connections; changing connection settings also affects the old server.
Practical steps
- Inventory server roles, service accounts, storage and databases, and verify backups before the maintenance window.
- Rehearse the vendor's same-version migration procedure on a suitable test environment, including the modified system-database backup.
- Plan destination validation for search, display, storage and workflow-dependent functions before reopening user access.
Confirm the result
Keep a documented rollback point and distinguish original backups from migration-modified backups. This is a project checklist; use the complete source procedure and qualified administration for execution.
