Yes, we may do that or we may do OnPrem. Either way we are doing the upgrade. Right now it takes 1.35 hours to restore my database from a backup.
For the cloud potential, I have no idea how long it would take to get our DR group to push a non duped database to the cloud site. to be installed in our TEST site. Is that a 8 hour task or is it closer to 20+ hours just due to the size of 1.2 TB of file size today. In on Prem I can use a compressed backup file and that takes only 1 hr to copy to the new Test server and restore there locally in an hour and 20 min. We are a few versions off the mark and these ports are a massive time crunch when we have to attempt to run them again and again.
