Create a backup of the target environment before you deploy any solutions that you migrated.

About this task

For the best possible backup, temporarily suspend, or quiesce, all activity on the system. Quiescing the system allows a consistent snapshot of all related data to be captured. Follow procedures specific to your operating environment to quiesce the system. Ensure, however, that your plan includes how system administrators and solution administrators can access the system to perform the necessary solution deployment and system configuration tasks.

After the backup, minimize access to the system to avoid changes that might make the system inconsistent with the backup. You can resume regular operations after the solution application is fully migrated and deployed.
