Dear visitor,
on Februar 15, 2017 Daniel Braun, the owner and mastermind of this website passed away unexpectedly. This is an unbelievable shock and loss for everybody.
Daniel was such an amazing person, so talented and gifted, a loving husband and father, an absolutely great guy, always ready to take care of any challenges and to share his knowledge – he will be missed by family and friends.
May he rest in peace!
Today, exactly two years ago, Daniel died and we all lost a really great guy.
Sebastian and I tried to honor his legacy last year by trying to keep data-protector.org alive through new and interesting content. Since the statistics speak a very clear language and due to personal changes, we have decided together with Daniel’s wife to end this attempt and leave the blog as it is today.
This means that there will be no new content, no posts, comments will be disabled, BRICK will not be updated or go open source.
Thank you and farewell!

Direct upgrades from Data Protector 8.1x. 9.0x, 10.x to version 10.20 are possible – there is no need to install Data Protector 10.00, 10.03 or 10.10 as an upgrade step.
Data Protector 10.20 is a fully featured Media Kit and therefore currently not available in the Software Support Online (SSO) Portal for download.

Lately, we’ve been receiving more requests for potential Data Protector upgrade paths. This post includes a simple overview to guide you including intermediate steps necessary to upgrade to the latest version of the software.
To reduce the amount of manual effort to a minimum you should always use the latest possible version allowed in the upgrade path (on Cell Manager and clients) before taking the next step, e.g. starting at 7.01, then upgrade to 9.00 and continue to 10.10.
There might be some exceptions to this general rule depending on a lot of parameters i.e. new hardware, new operating systems, etc. Make sure to check the Release Notes and requirements of each (intermediate) version you plan to use as well as creating a offline backup and clean up the installation before you start.

The AppServer has become an integral part of Data Protector. When it fails neither user authentication, scheduling or reporting will work.
