Preparing to upgrade from BlackBerry Enterprise Server
Version 4.0

Back up the BlackBerry Enterprise Server registry settings

Perform this task to maintain a record of the registry entries.
1. On the computer that hosts the BlackBerry® Enterprise Server software, open the Registry Editor.
2. In the left pane, navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Research In Motion.
3. Right-click Research In Motion. Click Export.
4. Save the file.

Back up the BlackBerry Enterprise Server log files

Perform this task to maintain a record of existing logs, and so that you can troubleshoot the upgrade process if it does not
complete successfully.
1. On the computer on which you plan to upgrade the BlackBerry® Enterprise Server, navigate to C:\Program Files
\Research In Motion\BlackBerry Enterprise Server\Logs.
2. Copy the log files to a backup location.

Back up the BlackBerry Configuration Database

Back up the BlackBerry® Configuration Database so that you can restore it if the upgrade process does not complete
successfully.
If your database environment is Microsoft® SQL Server®, use the backup and restore tools that Microsoft Corporation
provides.
If your database environment is MSDE 2000, you can use the BlackBerry Configuration Database Backup Tool that is included
with the BlackBerry® Enterprise Server installation media. By default, the backup file is named <database name>
<YYYYMMDDHHMMSS>.bak.
1. On the computer that hosts the BlackBerry Configuration Database, at the command prompt, change to the Tools folder
on the BlackBerry Enterprise Server installation media.
2. Run BlackBerryDbBackup.exe.
Example
To back up a BlackBerry Configuration Database named "BESMgmt" to a folder named "DB_backup_folder" when you use
the database credentials "sqlusername" and "sqlpassword", type
BlackBerryDBBackup.exe -d BESMgmt -f C:\DB_backup_folder -U sqlusername -P sqlpassword
