Questions for Moving from 8.103 to 8.202

Guys,

We have ASG 425 running  8.103, here is the options we want to consider;

- Try first to upgrade  incrementally using Up2date, from 8.200 -> 8.201 -> 8.202

- If  we hit a massive failure, try to install to the latets ISO 8.202

here are the questions; it is worth to use Up2date incrementally or use the clean install using ISO to 8.202?  It is alright to clean install from the latest 8.202 ISO directly? and lastly if we backup  the config from 8.103, install the 8.202 ISO and restore the backup, it is compatible?

make a 8.103 backup...then install each update. the machine will most likely reboot after each one.

the 8.103 backup will work in 8.202 if you have to go with a reload from scratch. In my experience it has been a better experience to reload from the iso when there is such a large amount of changes as there is form 8.103-8.2x. However this means the loss of your logs. If you want to keep your logs try the incremental approach(and if your maintenance windows is hours large..like 2)...if you are time pressed or don't care about keeping your logs then boot from the iso..install..then use your 8.103 config backup.
