People Also Ask

How long does it take to rollback a failed migration?

AI-powered rollback completes in 5-15 minutes depending on database size and complexity. Manual rollback typically takes 4-8 hours. Our automated system includes failure detection (30 seconds), state preservation (1-2 minutes), rollback execution (2-10 minutes), and validation (2-3 minutes) for complete recovery with zero data loss.

Will I lose any data during rollback?

No. Our rollback process guarantees zero data loss through continuous backup snapshots, transaction log preservation, and automated validation. We maintain multiple recovery points and verify data integrity before, during, and after rollback to ensure 100% data preservation.

Can I rollback part of a migration?

Yes. Our incremental rollback strategy allows you to roll back only failed batches while preserving successfully migrated data. This selective rollback minimizes downtime and allows you to fix specific issues without affecting the entire migration, completing in 5-8 minutes.

What happens to my application during rollback?

Applications experience minimal downtime (5-15 minutes) during rollback. We automatically reconfigure connection strings, restore schema compatibility, and verify application connectivity before completing the rollback. For critical systems, we support blue-green rollback with zero downtime.

How do I prevent migration failures in the future?

Our AI system learns from every rollback to prevent future failures. We provide automated pre-migration validation, continuous monitoring during migration, intelligent error prediction, and comprehensive testing strategies. After rollback, we generate detailed failure analysis and recommendations to ensure successful retry.
