The signed-off cutover log proves the agreed recovery point and reconciles final source and target transaction counts. That result is evidence for another corrective change: Define a cutover protocol to quiesce writes, confirm synchronization, record the recovery point and switch only after validation. The alternative problem is: A hybrid migration loses writes because engineers stop applications before verifying the final transaction synchronization and recovery checkpoint. The current Alpine Healthcare issue is instead: A 12 TB production database must move to Azure with a near-zero outage requirement, but the plan uses backup and restore during a short maintenance window. Its decisive acceptance evidence would be: The last synchronization lag and cutover outage remain within objectives and source-to-target validation shows no missing committed data.

The target passes consistency and row-count checks before the archived application is pointed at the restored database. That result is evidence for another corrective change: Use an offline migration plan such as backup and restore or a supported database transfer after checking platform compatibility. The alternative problem is: A static historical archive needs a one-time move with a long approved outage, but engineers propose persistent replication infrastructure.
