Wouldn't you want to backup primary to copy before migration? That way you're doing that from disk. If you migrate then backup primary to copy, you're doing the copy from tape to tape, rather than from disk to tape. In addition, it gets your offsite copies created earlier in the cycle, so that you can hand them to your offsite storage vendor.
What about this order? Backup Backup primary to copy Backup db Get copies & DB backup offsite Migration Expiration Reclamation Second DB backup if you've got time (perhaps to disk) Start all over again --- W.

Is there a specific recommended order or is it up to each individual site and it's environment?
