Re: How does one backup the current version in preparation for upgrade?

I am preparing to upgrade to the latest version of Recorder and would like to know if there is anything further I need to do in order to safely backup both the Recorder application and the SQL database beyond the following:

* Backup the NBNData database

* Backup the Recorder program directory

Are there any registry settings or files located elsewhere that should also be backed up?

If anything goes wrong with the upgrade, I need to know I can quickly and safely roll-back to the previous version.

Hi Charles,

You're right, this should indeed be all you need if you want to rollback to the previous version of Recorder.  The upograde kit won't affect the registry.
