Manual backup vs. automatic backup during upgrade

During a TrendMiner upgrade a backup is automatically created. This backup process can take a significant amount of time that adds to the overall downtime. To reduce this, the admin can take a manual backup first before launching an upgrade and choose to disable the automatic backup creation during the upgrade.

Uncheck the "Take backup before upgrade" checkbox when upgrading TrendMiner:

We would advise to take a manual backup because:

  • It causes less downtime during the upgrade.

  • The upgrade will not fail because the hard disk is full.

  • The backup can be downloaded from the TrendMiner server so even less risk of data loss.
