This happens both before cron is re-enabled and before maintenance mode is lifted, helping better ensure the the cleanup hooks have run before any requests hit the application. A new hook has been introduced to perform actions during this cleanup: `vip_datasync_cleanup` (note that `vip_go_migration_cleanup` still runs, though there are plans to deprecate in the future). [SQL Imports](https://docs.wpvip.com/how-tos/migrate-content-databases/) (any env) will also run a similar `wp vip data-cleanup sql-import` directly inline as well. There is a new WP hook that can be used to perform actions during this cleanup: ` vip_sqlimport_cleanup`. Alongside those new cleanup processes, the WP options below are backed up before a data sync or SQL import takes place, then restored afterwards. The main reasoning behind this is to prevent production environments from sharing this data with their child environments, as they need to remain unique per environment. ```wp-block-syntaxhighlighter-code 'jetpack_options', 'jetpack_private_options', 'vaultpress', 'vip_jetpack_connection_pilot_heartbeat', 'wordpress_api_key', 'vip_search_index_versions', 'vip_search_global_index_versions', ``` 04 November 2021 16:56:46 GMT+0000 [ VIP MU plugins [Production] ](https://docs.wpvip.com/changelog/vip-mu-plugins-production/) [ Permalink ](https://docs.wpvip.com/changelog/vip-mu-plugins-production/search-return-early-if-no-index-on-get_current_field_count/) No need to perform a remote request since it will throw an index_not_found_exception.

Although those files are located in mu-plugins we didn’t load them from there. We’ve made a change to include `000-pre-vip-config/requires.php` that will now contain those early dependencies so that it’s more apparent.
