16. Philadelphia Area SharePoint User Group Site Collection Upgrades for 2013 • If you have an Enterprise version of SQL Server, the Create Upgrade Evaluation Site Collections job timer takes a snapshot of the database and reads the data from the snapshot to a destination database (with the source database being the default target). This doesn’t affect the read-only status of the source site throughout the whole process. • For other versions of SQL Server that do not have snapshot capabilities, the Create Upgrade Evaluation Site Collections job timer backs up a site collection and restores it to a new URL. This makes the source site read-only for the whole duration of the process. www.PhillySharePoint.org
