How to Upgrade to an Arcserve Stand-alone Server-IMPW

Complete the following tasks to upgrade an Arcserve stand-alone server environment to a Arcserve Backup Stand-alone or Primary Server environment.

1. Install the Arcserve Backup Primary Server or the Arcserve Backup Stand-alone Server on the target system.
2. When you are prompted, migrate the data from the previous release to the new database.

   After you upgrade Arcserve Backup, Setup launches a migration wizard that lets you migrate data from your previous installation to the new Arcserve Backup server. You can migrate data relating to jobs, logs, and user security.

   To migrate the data, follow the prompts on the subsequent dialogs and complete all required information.

3. Verify the installation.
4. (Optional) Arcserve Backup does not support recovering the Arcserve Backup database when the last backup of the Arcserve Backup database was completed before you upgraded to this release. As a best practice, you should back up the Arcserve Backup database as soon as possible after the upgrade is complete. For information about backing up the Arcserve Backup database, see the Administration Guide.
