IPBRICK v6.0 F.A.Q.

Is it possible to update my IPBRICK v5.x to a 6.0 using updates?

It isn't possible to upgrade an IPBRICK 4.x or v5.x to an IPBrick 6.0 using updates. You can only upgrade your system via an Upgrade/Reinstall with our new ISO via DVD or image installation.

But since the migration procedure is now an installation of a new image, how can I safeguard my server's data?

The IPBRICK installation DVD detects a previous installation and ensures the backup of all data. However, and regardless of this, it is advisable to have a full backup of your server!

How may I backup my server's configurations?

Backup the last IPBRICK configuration at: Advanced Configurations > Disaster Recovery > Configurations > Download

And may I use the configuration file straight away?

No. Send the last IPBRICK configuration to support.install@ipbrick.com and request migration to IPBrick v6.0;

Is this a direct conversion procedure?

No. This isn't an automatic procedure. You will receive, as soon as possible, the respective configuration file.

What about migrating really old versions of IPBRICK?

It’s possible that, for older IPBRICK versions, the migration may not be possible to be executed directly. You may need to update first to an intermediate version and only then to IPBRICK 6.0.
In these situations, we will inform you about any restrictions and how to proceed.

And what about the applications installed in the server?

If in doubt, please contact support.install@ipbrick.com we will make sure to check if your installed applications, such as Hotspot, LIVE, etc. are compatible with IPBrick v6.0.
