restore trick after update why? Rebuild from ISO why?

maygyver

Hello all,

I have seen serveral advices to do a restore direct after an update/upgrade, why? I had no need to do it in 16 years Astaro/Sophos UTM.

Even I was never told to do a rebuild from ISO from support and I had no need to do it. Everytime there was a Astaro/Sophos patch sooner or later.

 

We should discuss this. May be I missed something.

  • Hi May

     

    - To do a restore of a backup after an update is also new for me, maybe some  files could get corrupted and will be rewritten with the restore?

    - Rebuild from ISO is often the only way to get a cluster back to life: One node updated to (bad) version X the other remains  on (good) version X-1; the only to go back to X-1 is re-imaging. (If the quality of the Sophos-Patches would be good this wouldn't be neccessary)

     

    Regards, Peter

    The rebuild from iso in case of a broken HA or a bad update and switching to old version X-1 is normal.

    But when my "one" or within HA both are running fine, is a rebuild really useful?

    No, if it runs fine the files on the box should be same like the ones in the  iso-image  - except you deployed a faulty update or changed files/configuration by using console root-login and you need a clean system again ;-)
