# Brainspace - 7.1.2 Release Notes

**Release Notes - Version 7.1.2 GA (Release Date: 1/16/2025)**

## Upgrading from Brainspace 7.x

> [!WARNING]
> IMPORTANT
> 
> Before upgrading, you are strongly encouraged to perform a manual backup of your data.

To make upgrades faster and easier, the Brainspace 7 backup process has been decoupled from the upgrade process. In previous versions of Brainspace, the upgrade script automatically backed up your data. This is no longer the case. Proceeding without a manual backup could result in unrecoverable data loss if the upgrade encounters issues.

Please refer to the [Appendix D: Brainspace 7 Backups](/brainspace/docs/installation-upgrade-guide-brainspace-7#appendix-d-brainspace-7-backups) section of the [Installation & Upgrade Guide - Brainspace 7](/brainspace/docs/installation-upgrade-guide-brainspace-7) article for further instructions.

## Upgrading from Brainspace 6.x

You will first need to install **Brainspace 7.1**, and then migrate your **6.x** instances. This information is detailed in the articles below:
