Version 7.5.11 to 8.2 update questions

bgarlock
Hello all,

I would like to upgrade to the latest 8.2 version.  We have an Astaro ASG-220, and like any upgrade for any OS, I like to take an image prior to the upgrade, so I can get back to exactly the state the machine was in before the upgrade.

Is there a recommended procedure for doing this with an Astaro HW appliance?  If so, could you please share the link with me?

I did have to  SSH into our ASG-220 and make a couple of changes to the PPTP VPN server, in /var/chroot-pptp/etc in order for our VPN users to "appear" on the same subnet as our local machines.  This was to support an application that was picky about our remote users, and has worked excellent.  I would get calls all the time prior to that change, so that is a requirement for us.

Are there any gottcha's or other things we need to pay attention to before the upgrade?  I have already read the release notes, so I'm just looking for things that might not be documented or discussed in another thread.

Many thanks,

Bruce

    Hi, Bruce, My recommendation, based on what we're seeing here in the forums, is that you wait until 8.202/3.

    There's no official way to image an Astaro.  You can reload from ISO and restore a configuration backup (put an unencrypted backup in the root of a USB memory stick, then boot the Astaro with that inserted).  Note that you must use a backup from a version that is not newer than the version to which you're restoring, so you might want to do a multi-step process that includes restring an old backup, running Up2Dates, then restoring your latest backup.

    Cheers - Bob

    I'm with Bob... stick with 8.103 ... wait for 8.202 before making  a move to the 8.2xx platform.  It's what I'll be advising my customers to do.
