Manual backup vs. automatic backup during upgrade
Before starting a TrendMiner upgrade you can choose to enable a backup creation. 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.
We would advise to take a manual backup before the upgrade 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 to your local machine or a different server for extra safeguarding of the data.
