Before upgrading the system, it is strongly recommended that you archive the historical data and back up the SmartStruxure servers to preserve the current data and configurations. If you plan to upgrade WebReports, be sure to back up the Reports database in SQL Server.
The following diagram describes the recommended steps for archiving and backing up a multi-server system running Building Operation software.
