Hello,


We are planning the upgrade of our Production TC Server from version 6.5.5 to 7.1.
At the same time we want to move to a different HW.
The plan is:
1. Have a backup of our current production Server  6.5.5. Backup collected via GUI.

2. Deploy TC 7.1 to a new server.
3. Restore the collected backup to TC 7.1.


From what I read, there is no problem in restoring backups created with  TeamCity 6.0 or later when restored by a more recent TeamCity version.
Please verify that this is an acceptable upgrade procedure.



Thanks,
Nantia

I would get the 6.5.5 server up and running on the new hardware and then do the upgrade to 7.1. I'm not sure that restoring a 6.5 backup to a new 7.1 instance will work, upgrading TeamCity usually changes the database schema.
