Transforming Cloning Operations

ServiceNow Situation Today
Manual Backup and Restore Plans
Manual backup and restore plans are error-prone and labor-intensive, leading to prolonged freeze periods and development downtime.
Risk of Loosing WIP
It is common to lose work-in-progress when cloning due to the manual nature of backing up and restoring WIP.
Continuous Troubleshooting Errors
Missed items or lost work lead to errors, causing nagging and continuous troubleshooting efforts for days, weeks, and even months in the future.
Spreadsheet tracking of restore plans
Using spreadsheets for restore plans is error-prone and labor-intensive and does not provide an immutable record for compliance and audit history.
