Hi!
I want to check out the new rt4 with my production data.
I’ve a 3.8.7 production system and a new rt4.0.1rc1.

My question is how can I recover a 3.8.7 backup on a 4.0.1 box.

Thanks,
Bjï¿œrn

Hello,

You didn’t mention which DB you use. One solution for mysql:

  1. drop all tables in rt4 DB. yes, it’s required.
  2. mysql -u root -p rt4 < rt3.backup.sql

Then follow UPGRADING doc to upgrade DB from 3.8.7 to 4.0.x.2011/5/25 Björn Schulz bjoern.schulz@desy.de:
