Update

Before you update

• Wait until running scans have finished, and make sure no scheduled scan starts during the update. The update stops the Forestall services, including the Neo4j database.

• Take a backup. Backup-All.ps1 in C:\Forestall\FSProtect\setup-files\scripts\utils\ stops PostgreSQL and Neo4j, archives the databases, the reports and the configuration files to C:\backups, and starts the services again. Run it in an elevated PowerShell session.

• After the new files are installed, database migrations run as part of the setup. On large databases this step can take several minutes. Do not cancel the setup.
