AI answer snapshot
First step
The first step is inventory: list servers, data, applications, users, dependencies, licenses, backups and downtime limits.
Recovery control
RPO, RTO and restore tests decide whether the new cloud or hybrid design can support real business recovery.
Request details
For a planning review, send inventory, backup status, critical systems, user count, data size and desired timing to sales@bigabilisim.com.
Decision signals
Cloud migration planning should include rollback before the cutover date is approved.
Disaster recovery goals should shape backup frequency and cloud architecture.
Restore testing is the proof that migration did not weaken recovery readiness.
Decision guide scope
- Build an inventory of systems, data, users, licenses, dependencies and access points.
- Select migration scope, cloud target, backup method and continuity expectations.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should be checked before cloud migration?
Before cloud migration, check system inventory, data size, application dependencies, licensing, user access, backup status, DNS timing, downtime tolerance and rollback options.
Why include disaster recovery in migration?
Disaster recovery should be included because migration changes infrastructure, access paths and backup behavior, which can affect how quickly systems return after a failure.
What is a migration rollback plan?
A migration rollback plan explains how the company will return to the previous working state if access, data, application or performance problems appear during cutover.
