When upgrading there are additional considerations:

  1. major version upgrades should be performed in a lab before deploying to production, for example moving from AppBoard v2.1 to v2.2. Once any differences have been dealt with, a new version archive can be produced and this used when upgrading production.
  2. ensure you have a full archive before starting (see Backup and Recovery)
  3. perform a clean installation, then restore the archive. i.e. never uncompress a new version of the product over the top of an existing install unless directed by support.
