Restore 3.8.8 DB to 4.0.1

RT Users

Hi all -

I have an RT 3.8.8 install we’ve been using for quite some time (the DB is
200MB) and I also have a fresh 4.0.1 installation.

Are there any reasons why I can’t (or shouldn’t) take a backup of my 3.8.8
database and restore it to my 4.0.1 installation?

Thanks!

Max

You can do that as long as you run all the upgrade steps between 3.8.8
and 4.0.1 on the restored database.
