Upgrade from 7.6 to 8 Migration of Settings and Backcatalog


Recommended Posts

Hallo,

 

i want to upgrade from version Multiserver 7.6 for windows to Version Multiserver 8 for Windows.

 

I want to install the new Version on a new 64 bit Hardware Platform with win 2008 r2 running.

 

Is it possible to export or migrate the settings und the Backup Catalog to the new platform without dataloss ?

 

And can i read the backups created with version 7.6 with version 8 ?

 

Thanks in advance for all useful comments.

 

 

Regards

I know this worked with 7.7 to 8.0, but I'd recommend you skip 8.0 and go to 8.1 which is a pre-release patched version which stops a load of errors/groom issues.

 

I had so many problems after upgrading to 8.0 with crashing/freezing then I rebuilt all my backup sets and config from scratch, and THEN upgraded to 8.1 - so I can't say for sure if it was an upgrade issue or just buggy v8 software.

 

It's probably best to ask the support guys, as this is a user forum with the odd fleeting visit from Retrospect staff.
