This document discusses how to back up your SI5.2 server files, to provide a restore point or in preparation for updating to SI5.5. The contents of this document have been derived entirely from Jose’s more complete article, Moving SI 5 Server Components to Another Machine.
Backing up your server files prior to updating will allow D-Tools technical support to assist you in quickly restoring your SI5.2 environment, should anything go wrong with the update process.
Please Note: the paths given in this document are the default paths installed by SI5. The actual paths on your machine may vary.
Make copies of the following files/folders. We recommend creating three separate folders called “Projects”, “Products” and “Databases” and storing these files/folders in a safe location.
1. Projects:
C:DToolsSI5ServerProjects*
2. Products:
C:DToolsSI5ServerProducts
3. Databases:
*MSSQL.1 – the number may vary depending on how many instances of SQL you have installed on your machine.
