Best Practices for Upgrades

DB Backup

Delinea recommends that Privilege Managerdatabases are backed-up prior to an upgrade. For details regarding SQL database backups, refer to the vendor documentation of your SQL database, such as Back Up and Restore of SQL Server Databases.

TMS Folder Backup

Other measures to take before any upgrade are to make a backup copy of your Privilege ManagerTMS folder and all its contents.

1. On your Privilege Managerhost system navigate to C:\inetpub\wwwroot\TMS (default installation location).
2. Create a backup copy of the TMS folder contents at another location on your system or network.

Repair Solution

When running into an error condition during an upgrade, try the repair option for the specific solution that errored out.
