Best upgrade procedure from XG 135 to XGS 136

Has anyone done an upgrade or migration from an XG135 to XGS136? Any tips, tricks or things to avoid? I have a couple to do. Is it better to do a backup and restore, export and import or try to re-implement fresh?

Regards,

Gary

Thanks for the response Yash.

I had considered that, but wondered if I should update to 18.5 first. Currently, I am at 18.0.4. I have had an issue in the past of restoring older version with newer where not all of the restore works because of firmware levels.

I have done a full rebuild and that is obviously a pain.

I have also used the export and restored pieces via import and configured the rest manually. Not too bad.

Regards,

Gary

A restore of your backup should be fine, but only if you have V18.0 MR4 or older.

V18.5 GA does not support Backups of V18.0 MR5 today.

Thank you for the info. You probably saved me from upgrading, backing up and then failing to restore.
