Backing Up, Upgrading, and Restoring vFoglight
Your embedded MySQL database is successfully backed up. For instructions on
how to restore the database MySQL database using these files, see “To restore an
embedded MySQL database previously backed up using the InnoDB tools:” on
page 104. For complete information about the InnoDB Hot Backup tool, visit the

Upgrading vFoglight
The vFoglight Management Server installer checks for an existing version 5.x
installation of the Management Server in the target directory. If an existing 5.x
installation is found in the directory, you are prompted to choose whether you want to
install a new version of the vFoglight Management Server, or to upgrade that instance of
the Management Server.
If you would like to install a new instance of the same version, you must select the New
Install option in the installer and choose a different (and empty) installation folder. You
cannot re-install the Management Server into the same directory as an existing
installation of the same version.
When running in the upgrade mode, the installer upgrades all files in the target directory
and upgrades the database. All product files in the target directory are overwritten;
however, any customizations already made are retained.
Caution Before upgrading vFoglight to a newer version, it is necessary to back up the previous
vFoglight installation directory and the database used by the existing vFoglight
Management Server (for instructions, see “Backing Up vFoglight” on page 89).
If you are using an external database and intend to upgrade vFoglight after backing it up,
you should shut down the vFoglight Management Server, but leave the database
running. Doing so allows the installer to successfully upgrade the database.
Note If you encounter any errors during the upgrade process, you can stop the procedure and
restore the previous vFoglight installation (see “Restoring vFoglight” on page 102), provided
that it has been correctly backed up.
