Reasons for Performing a Copy
There are several reasons for performing a system copy. The main reasons for a client/customer to plan and execute a system copy are as follows:
• To build a test system with the data as in the production system
• To accelerate the build times for initial builds of test and production systems
• To build conversion testing/mock systems before going live
• To build a second system for testing upgrades
• To build a production-like system for performance testing projects
• To move systems to remote datacenters for auditing, security, and compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX)
• To move the systems to the outsourcing provider’s hosting location
• To change the underlying database and/or operating system
