SharePoint 2010 Extended Support End Date

The date is: 13 of October 2020 .. so a year from now I’d say.

Please check Microsoft Product Cycle from this link, Here

And you can search for whatever Microsoft Products to see the end supported date.

Note that If you still have SharePoint 2010 Farm, start planning for Migration and honestly speaking just go to SharePoint 2019. and use the new Modern Experience; in which I will write about in a new post.

Unfortunately no direct migration, you still have to go to SP2013 then 2016 and finally 2019.

You will see Servers for each farm, you can use Azure VMs temp for migration that will help you to reduce Servers cost unless you have the resources on-premises.

Also I will write how to plan for your migration.

Hope that helps.

When to backup Content DB using SQL backup and when to backup site collection using PowerShell

Tags

Backup, SharePoint 2016, SharePoint 2019

We use Backup Content DB using SQL back up most likely for Migrations Option, meaning you are migrating from SharePoint 2016 to SharePoint 2019.

in that case, to migrate we use the command Mount-SPContentDatabase

So most likely this is used for migrations.

But if you use the Backup-SPSite option using PowerShell, then you may be moving your site collection in the same Farm from one web application to another and you can definitely move it from one Farm to another but within the same SharePoint Version, so this is not migration.

So the what do you want to do is …. what you will use..

Hope that helps understand things right.
