Hi Folks,
Can any one provide me a checklist to validate while doing the database migration from one physical SQL Server to another SQL Server.
It will be very useful for me.
Thanks in Advance....

3Analyse the disk space in the Target Server
4Physical layout of Data files, Log files, TempDB data file , Index and Backup files
5Collect information on Indexes( Cluster & Non Clustered)
6Collect the information about the Database properties(auto close, auto growth, Auto Stats, Recovery Model & compatibility level etc)
