Dear Community
This seems to be a strange question:
How can I upgrade an Astaro ASG V7 to V8 or V9?
Here is the explanation:
By the end of January 2018, my ASG Server (bought from Thomas Krenn) went out
on me: obviously the disk drive crashed or broke - it is no longer
visible and the system cannot boot. The system was brought up to ASG V8 in 2015.
Fortunately I had made a clone drive - but unfortunately that was in
2012 with the Astaro V7 release. I installed this disk ... and the
system booted fine. It even applied six updates from 7.507 to 7.513 -
magic! I wanted to apply the latest backup from January, 27th, made
under V8, however. I got an error message because of wrong syntax - not
really a surprise, because the backup from V8 is presumably not backward
compatible with V7.
Next I did a renew for my UTM Home Use License - now the License ID is 1439902.
Before that I took an unnecessary detour over a Full License.
My System offers my an upgrade to V8 with an URL of: ftp://ftp.astaro.com/pub/Astaro_Security_Gateway/v8/
I tried to start this, but got an error message "550 Failed to change directory".
When I examined the FTP-Directory, it shows an empty "Astaro_Security_Gateway"-directory - there is no "V8"-object.
Here is my question: How can I upgrade from my old ASG V7 to V8 or even higher
AND load the config backup from January 27 written under ASG V8?
Thanx a lot for useful hints!!!!
