Upgrading from one product version to another product version

You can upgrade your entire system configuration from one product version to another, for example from XProtect Professional 2016 R1 to XProtect Professional 2016 R2 fairly fast and easily. Install the new product on top of the old version without any need to remove the previous version.

When you install the new version of your system, it inherits the configuration from the previously installed version/product. Milestone recommends that you make regular backups of your server configuration as a disaster recovery measure. You should also do this when you upgrade your server. While it is rare that you lose your configuration (cameras, schedules, views and more), it can happen under unfortunate circumstances. Fortunately, it takes only a minute to back up your configuration.

Note that you do not need to manually remove the old version of your system before you install the new version. The old version is removed when you install the new version.
