Upgrading from Zmanda Cloud Backup 1.0.2
- Customers can upgrade to new release by running setup.exe that is part of the 2.0.1 software zip file.
- Customers must preserve the configuration data during upgrade process if they want configuration and backup images to be restored using 2.0.1 software. The Backup set Backup What, Where and When configuration, Monitor and Reports information are preserved.
- All backups created using ZCB 1.0.2 can be restored using ZCB 2.0.1 software except for encrypted backups (see next point).
- There are few important caveats:
- All backup sets created using 1.0.2 software must be saved after upgrade to 2.0.1 This step must be done before backup or restores can be performed using ZCB 2.0.1 software.
- ZCB 2.0 uses different data encryption configuration (certificate based encryption). Customers who have configured data encryption in 1.0.2 will have to configure digital certificates for amandabackup user and have to provide the certificate name in the backup set (Backup>What). Otherwise, data encryption will not be performed after upgrade to 2.0.1
- In Restore>What page in the UI, Top Directories View is not available for backup created using 1.x images. Users can use All Files view to restore selected files.
- All backup schedules created in ZCB 1.0.2 should be modified to work in ZCB 2.0.1 The location of scheduler.exe binary has moved from the Zmanda Internet Backup folder to the Zmanda Cloud Backup folder.
