Back up existing data

If you want to restore the data on the hard disk of the server after migrating to Windows,

you must back up the data and verify that you are able to restore it:

Step 1. Perform a server-wide backup using your existing backup utilities.

Step 2. Verify the integrity of the backup by restoring samples of data to another server.

Step 3. Store the backup in a safe place.
