Migrating from DSM v6.1.0.9229 to DSM 6.4.2
You must migrate to DSM v6.4.2 due to database improvements. It is not an upgrade. As a result, the following
conditions exist:
l
You can only migrate from DSM v6.1.9229 or a later version, to DSM v6.4.2. If you have a version that is lower
than DSM v6.1.9229, upgrade to DSM v6.1.9229 first, then migrate to DSM v6.4.2.
l
After migrating, you cannot restore older backups created before the migration. Only backups from 6.1.0.9229 or
higher can be restored to v6.4.2.
Best Practices for Migration
To ensure the integrity of your data:
l
Perform a backup before performing the migration. See
"Backup current DSM configuration" on the facing page
for
more information.
l
After the migration, perform a new backup.
