The following upgrade options are available:
|
If you need to upgrade from 6 or 10 version, upgrade to version 11 first, and then to version 13. Before upgrading Dr.Web Server, please read the Upgrading Dr.Web Agent section. |
|
Not all Dr.Web Server updates within version 13 have the distribution kit file. Some of them can be installed via the Control Center only. |
Saving configuration files
When upgrading Dr.Web Server to version 13 using the installer, the configuration files are saved to the backup folder specified in the Back up Dr.Web Server critical data option during the upgrade (<installation_drive>:\DrWeb Backup by default).
The following configuration files are saved:

Saving the database
|
Before upgrading, make sure that the Microsoft SQL DBMS has case-sensitive (_CS) and accent-sensitive (_AS) collation suffixes specified. Otherwise it will not be possible to update automatically.
Before upgrading, also make sure that the DBMS you use is supported by Dr.Web Server version 13. Otherwise it will not be possible to upgrade automatically. A list of supported DBMSs is available in the Appendices, Appendix A. The Description of the DBMS Settings. The Parameters of the DBMS Driver. |
Before upgrading the Dr.Web Enterprise Security Suite software, it is recommended that you back up the database first.
To back up database
1.Stop Dr.Web Server.
2.Export the database to file:
•for Dr.Web Server prior to version 13
"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 Dr.Web Server version 13 and later
"C:\Program Files\DrWeb Server\bin\drwcsd.exe" -home="C:\Program Files\DrWeb Server" -var-root="C:\Program Files\DrWeb Server\var" -verbosity=all modexecdb database-export <backup_folder>\esbase.es |
For Dr.Web Servers with an external database, use the standard tools supplied with the database.
|
Make sure that the Dr.Web Enterprise Security Suite database export completed successfully. If a database backup copy is not available, Dr.Web Server cannot be restored in an emergency case. |
Upgrading Dr.Web Server
To upgrade Dr.Web Server, run the distribution file.
|
By default, the installer uses the language of the operating system. If necessary, you can change the installation language at any step by selecting the corresponding option in the right upper part of the installer window.
If you use an external Dr.Web Server database, also select Use existing database during the upgrade. |
1.When upgrading from versions 11, 12 and within version 13, a window notifying you of the previous Dr.Web Server version installed and offering a brief description of the upgrade process to a new version will open. To start configuring the upgrade procedure, click Upgrade.
2.The next window allows you to configure the backup of critical data before uninstalling Dr.Web Server of the previous version. It is recommended that you set the Back up Dr.Web Server critical data flag. If necessary, you can change the default backup folder (<installation_drive>:\DrWeb Backup). Click Uninstall to start the uninstallation of Dr.Web Server of the previous version.
3.Once the previous version is uninstalled, the installation of the new version of Dr.Web Server starts. A window with information on the product and the link to the license agreement text will open. After you have read the agreement, select I accept the terms of the license agreement and click Next to continue the installation.
4.The following steps configure a Dr.Web Server that uses an existing database (same as the Installing Dr.Web Server process based on the configuration files from the previous installation). The installation wizard automatically locates the Dr.Web Server installation folder, its configuration files, and the location of the embedded database from the previous installation. If necessary, you can change the locations of the files which were found automatically by the installer.
5.To start the installation of Dr.Web Server version 13, click Install.
|
Once the upgrade of Dr.Web Servers within the anti-virus network is completed, you must do the following: 1.Configure encryption and compression settings for connected Dr.Web Servers (see the Administrator Manual, Setting Connections between Several Dr.Web Servers). 2.Clear the cache of the web browser that is used to connect to Dr.Web Security Control Center. |
