abca Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 Does anyone know if it is possible to remove an update? I'm thinking about moving to 7.6.123 but i was reading on this forum that someone had problems with the update flaging all their files as changed when only a handful had actually changed. If i update and it causes a bug is it possible to remove the update and go back to the version i was using before? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhwalker Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 (edited) uninstall / reinstall prior version. Some version-to-version updates make changes in the backup set or catalog format such that, once written by the later version, you can't go back. Been there, done that. You haven't provided any information about what version transitioning you are contemplating. You might start by reading the release notes - they generally warn about falling back to earlier versions if there is an issue. Like any contemplated update, surely you test on an isolated testbed before committing your production system, don't you?

abca Posted January 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 Thanks for the Reply Russ We are currently on version 7.6.111 and got the update notice for 7.6.123. I did read the release notes about this new update but didn't see anywhere that indicated if I would be able to roll back if I had any problems. As far as testing the updates, we only have retrospect on one machine, so there isn't much in the way of testing being done. If you are able to roll back retrospect, how is that done? I don't see anywhere that would say "uninstall update" or something along those lines. I was hoping that there was an easy way to unintall updates. Similar to how windows allows you to uninstall updates for windows through add/remove programs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mayoff Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 You would uninstall the current version and then install the prior version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
