Upgrading the Backup Server

The upgrade steps for the Recovery Manager backup server also apply to the Remote Copy backup
server(s), if applicable to your setup.

If you plan to use a different installation folder for the new version of Recovery Manager for
SQL and not the same folder as the previous version, make a copy of the repository. The
repository is located in:

Recovery Manager 4.1.0 for SQL: <Install Directory>\RM\SQL\Data
