Upgrading from XG450 to XG550

Question

Hi all, 
 
 We are planning to upgrade our hardware from XG450 to XG550. 
 Can we use backup and restore from XG450 to XG550 as we are afraid that if we configure it manually we might miss some points. Anyone have experience upgrading from 4xx series to 5xx series? 
 
 Thanks 
 Sandy

 Thank you for reaching out to the Community! 
 According to the following KBA, You can do a backup-restore from an appliance with an equal or lower number of interfaces(XG450) to an appliance with an equal or higher number of interfaces(XG550) but not the other way around.
