Upgrading
Important
Before upgrading, users are strongly encouraged to perform a manual backup of their data.
Brainspace 7.x
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 user data. This is no longer the case. Proceeding without a manual backup could result in unrecoverable data loss if the upgrade encounters issues.
See section APPENDIX D - Brainspace 7 Backups of Installation & Upgrade Guide - Brainspace 7 for additional details.
Brainspace 6.x
Brainspace version 7.1.1 must first be installed. Afterwards, the 6.x instance can be migrated. Those processes are described in the following articles:
