Endpoint Central Update Backup Disabled | Faster Update Without Backup

Skipping the Backup Process During Endpoint Central Update (Speeding Up the Update)

During an Endpoint Central update, the system performs a database backup by default. This process can extend the update time, especially in large environments.

If a server snapshot is taken before the update, an additional backup may not be necessary. In this case, the backup process can be disabled to shorten the update time.

You can skip the backup process by following these steps:

  1. Stop the Endpoint Central Server service.
  2. Go to <Server_installation_Dir>\bin directory.
  3. Edit the UpdMgr.bat file.
  4. Add the following parameter to the set JAVA_OPTS line:

    Info
    -Ddb.backup=false

  5. Save the file.
  6. Start the update process by running the updatemanager.bat file located in the same directory.

This process eliminates the need for backups during the update process, resulting in faster completion.

Note: A system snapshot must be taken before applying this method.
