Pre-Installation / Upgrade Backups

The installation process overwrites the current files (exception: the configuration files are kept), effectively removing your modifications. Backing up these files will optimize the time it takes you to get up and running after installing or upgrading.


Note
titleNote

If you are upgrading an installation of UDMG from any release prior to 1.3.0.0, you must uninstall the older version before installing the new version.
The binaries, services, configuration parameters, and environment variables have changed and this does not allow for a standard upgrade.

CategoryPrior releasesRelease 1.3
UDMG Admin UI assetsC:\UDMG\nginx\mftC:\UDMG\nginx\udmg
Environment variables
  • WAARP_GATEWAY_ADDRESS
  • MFT_AUTH_PROXY_CONFIG
  • MFT_AGENT_PROXY_CONFIG
  • UDMG_SERVER_ADDRESS
  • UDMG_AUTH_PROXY_CONFIG
  • UDMG_AGENT_PROXY_CONFIG

It may be required to modify the work and data directories ownership or access rights and to update UDMG Server transfer rules to use new paths.

The configuration files must be reviewed and compared between the old and new versions.

Special attention is required for the AESpassphrase parameter for UDMG Server. It must be the path for the file that was used by the previous release and must be accessible by the new service user. It is recommended to set an absolute path in the configuration file.
