Before you start migrating your project from Desigo Optic 5.0 to Desigo Optic 5.1, we recommend backing up the existing project. Best practice is to store the backup somewhere other than the server that hosts Desigo Optic.
Use the following procedure to make a full project backup:
- Stop the Desigo Optic service.
- Navigate to the Desigo Optic directory. For example, C:\Program Files (x86)\Desigo Optic Framework\Desigo Optic Framework 5.0.X.XXXX.
- Zip up the var folder.
- Move the zipped var folder off the server hosting Desigo Optic. For example, onto a USB drive, a cloud storage device, or another server.
- A backup has been created and you are now ready to start migration.
