Q
How will the upgrade affect scheduled backups?
A
During the upgrade, any previous Bluechip backup scheduled tasks will be deleted. After upgrading, you will need to recreate the scheduled backup tasks using the new backup tool.
Q
What if I don’t have a Windows Server?
A
If Bluechip is installed as Server/Standalone on a Non-Windows Server OS (or the SMTP service is not installed), a message will be displayed when starting the Backup tool (will provide image). As result, e-mail notifications about the backup tasks outcome cannot be set/sent. Without SMTP installed the you will not be able to receive email notifications, so you will need to have a server with SMTP service installed.

A
Yes, if you have not updated your license the database may go into read-only mode.
