Before Installing Fixes and Support Patches
*Back up the Software AG_directory/Update Manager installation directory regularly, in synchronization with your regular backups of your Software AG products. These backups ensure that Software AG can restore the products as well as the Update Manager metadata to a known point of time.
Before installing a fix or support patch on a product, back up both the Software AG_directory/Update Manager installation directory and the product directory. Before installing a fix in a production environment, verify the fix in a staging environment.
*Create fix repositories.
The following table describes the type of repository to create for each product release.
