I've built a new ASG (software) to replace my existing one. The existing on is attached to my office network feeding about 50 users. The new one is currently self contained on a private lan. v7 is installed, patched and configured using the backup from the existing one. Now I'm thinking of going to v8 to utilize the 64bit frame work so I can use the 4GB RAM installed in the hardware vs. the 3GB limit of the 32bit v7.
I've only seen upgrades references thru UP2DATE or a new install using the .iso. My questions are based on not having to manually reconfigure v8 w/ my settings from v7 after the upgrade/install:
1. Can I upgrade the v7 on my new server that's self contained w/out putting it into production or on the internet?
2. If I use UP2DATE to go from v7 to v8, will it keep my existing configuration?
3. If I do an install of v8 that wipes my server, can I import my backup config from v7?
Thanx in advance for your thoughts.
