Hello.
I'm running psa v8.6.0_build86090811.11 os_Debian 4.0 on Linux 2.6.26-2-amd64 and i've deciced it's about time to upgrade to the latest 10.x version.
I've executed the panel_preupgrade_checker and except some minor-non critical issues, the system is reported ok.
I know the first step will be to take a system wide backup. How should i proceed after that? Should i execute the install script and upgrade through that, or perfom a system wipe and re-install from scratch? Please keep in mind that it is a production server and downtime should be kept at minimum. Will the data (files, databases, customers etc) automatically be migrated to the latest version or a backup restore will be required?
Has anyone attempted this before and encountered critical issues?
Btw is there any way the verify the integrity of the backup before starting the procedure?
I just wanna be prepared.
Thanks in advance.
