As upgrading the Framework Server requires alterations around the database, following best practice, backing up the entire server install directory, including the executables and var directory using a utility such as WinZip is highly recommended before starting the upgrade process.

The Framework Server executable also contains installation files for both TapeMaster and Server Utilities. These installations will be automatically executed after the completion of the Framework Server installation.

If you are installing the Framework Server on a remote server and want to install TapeMaster and/or the Server Utilities on another computer, simply cancel the installation process of these software packages.

TapeMaster and the Server Utilities installation files (along with TapeTrack Lite and Checkpoint) can be downloaded on their own for installation on separate computers from http://mirror-us.tapetrack.com/
