warning

If you are planning to use configuration files from the version 6 of the Server, please note:

1.Server license key is no longer supported (see Chapter 2: Licensing).

2.The embedded database is upgraded and configuration files of the Server is converted by the means of the installer. You cannot replace these files with a backup copies when upgrading from the Server of version 6.

If necessary, copy other critical files you want to preserve to another folder, other than Server installation folder. For instance, report templates which are stored in the \var\templates folder.

Saving Database

warning

The MS SQL CE database starting from the 10 version of Dr.Web Server is no longer supported. During automatic Server upgrade by the means of the installer, the MS SQL CE database is automatically converted to the SQLite embedded database.

Before upgrade Dr.Web Enterprise Security Suite software, it is recommended to backup database.

To backup database

1.Stop the Server.

2.Export the database to the file:

"C:\Program Files\DrWeb Server\bin\drwcsd.exe" -home="C:\Program Files\DrWeb Server" -var-root="C:\Program Files\DrWeb Server\var" -verbosity=all exportdb <backup_folder>\esbase.es

For Servers with external database, it is recommended to use standard tools supplied with the database.

warning

Make sure, that Dr.Web Enterprise Security Suite database export completed successfully. If the database backup copy is not available, the Server could not be restored in emergency case.

Upgrading Dr.Web Server

To upgrade Dr.Web Server, run the distribution file.

info

By default, installer uses the language of the operating system. If necessary, you can change the installation language on any step by selecting the corresponding option in the right upper part of the installer window.

 

For the external Server database, also select Use existing database during upgrade.

warning

If you are going to use the Oracle DB as an external database via the ODBC connection, then during installation (upgrading) of the Server, in the installer settings, disable the installation of embedded client for Oracle DBMS (in the Database support → Oracle database driver section).

Otherwise, interaction with the Oracle DB via ODBC will fail because of the libraries conflict.
