Databases

  • Stop any replication or failover activities with Double Take software, or with operating system-level replication.
  • To avoid overwriting critical data, save the database backups on a different drive than the drive that the AtHocENS folder and the SQL Server files are located on.
  • Name the backup files with the correct database names. Using the correct names helps you to recover the correct files during a failure. For example, name the backup file for the ngaddata database as 
     ngaddata_upgrade_7312013.bak
    .
  • Ensure that TempDB, in SQL Server, has enough space before the upgrade. The upgrade will fail if it runs out of space. To learn about TempDB requirements, see TempDB (system) database configuration.
