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:
<Server_installation_Dir>\bin directory. Add the following parameter to the set JAVA_OPTS line:
-Ddb.backup=false
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.
