 +It is best practice to create a complete copy of the TapeTrack installation at the start of the migration process to preserve any data, scripts and relevant files that may be overlooked in the migration.  This is especially important if the old server is going to be decommissioned before all processes and functions have been confirmed working and active on the new server.
