The backup service supports one-click online upgrade.
Precautions
Before performing the upgrade, refer to the Compatibility in the ABDR Release Notes to ensure that the AOC version is compatible with the backup service version. If the AOC version is not compatible, upgrade to the compatible version first.
If the current backup service has backup or restore jobs in progress, upgrading is not allowed.
During the upgrade process, the backup service may experience a brief offline period (about 10 seconds). If there are scheduled backup plans to be executed during this offline period, they will be automatically executed once after the upgrade is completed.
During the upgrade process, operations on backup plans, restore points, and backup repositories cannot be performed. Additionally, the association between the backup service and the ACOS (AVE) cluster cannot be edited, nor can the backup and restore job settings be edited.
During the upgrade process, you cannot delete the original installation package. After the upgrade is complete, it can be deleted if the original installation package is not associated with any backup or replication service.
After the upgrade is complete, the installation package used for the upgrade is not allowed to be deleted until the backup service is upgraded to a higher version or uninstalled.
Log in to AOC, in the Backup & DR page, click Settings to enter the function management page.
Click Installation package, then click Upload installation package to upload the Arcfra Backup & Disaster Recovery installation package in .tar.gz
format for upgrade.
Click Upload.
After uploading the installation package for upgrade, the status of the backup service will be displayed as Upgrade available, indicating that the current backup service can be upgraded to a higher version.
