<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">I did an upgrade from Unity 7 to Unity Connection 9.1.2 a couple years back, and I think I know what you mean.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">For my upgrades, I wanted to build Unity CxN in parallel with my production Unity 7, so that I could do a migration at my chosen pace.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">For this I went with COBRAS. It’s been a while, but I don’t remember whether or not this jump allowed for a backup and restore type of upgrade.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">But it sounds like that’s your plan of attack.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">For COBRAS export from Unity, use breifcase mode. This does not require network path from source and target server.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">also, does not make any changes to source sever the way "hot mode" does. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">For what its worth, here’s some information on what COBRAS gets you for this type of upgrade. In case you change your mind…<o:p></o:p></span></p>
