We know all the "drill" of migrating a site:

  • Put your site on maintenance.
  • Backup your database and code
  • Disable all your modules (do this with 50+ modules)
  • Update your core and modules code
  • run update.php
  • check for errors in update screen
  • activate a module
  • run update.php
  • check for errors in update screen
  • repeat last 3 actions until you have migrated all modules

And then we are not talking about migrating buddylist to friendlist or views 1.x to views 2.x.

How reliable is your web site? If one server at your hosting provider goes down, will it take your site with it? How quickly and confidently can you restore from backups? You DO have backups, right?
