RE: upgrade from 4.2 to 4.4 -- MIDRANGE-L

On a 620-2180 with 63% disk usage :
I just did an 4.3 to 4.4 upgrade. We used an earlier (3 day earlier) Full
backup and (previous night)  Differential backups to cutdown our total
downtime. Plus, I only did a SAVSYS after the install as we're a 24-7 Call
Center and I had to limit the downtime. My system was down from 8:30 PM and
up at 1:45AM with the SAVSYS. Plus, we had to account for all our TCPIP
services starting up, etc. The upgrade was absolutely smooth, no problems,
whatsoever.

Read the Installation manuals, talked to the CE a little. Checked off the
task lists, made sure our apps were supported under 4.4. No problems. Even
added SQL to the system. Went like a charm; of course, we were still a
little nervous. You'd think that after going from 2.3 to 3.1 and 3.1 to 3.2
and 3.2 to 4.3, it wouldn't be such a big deal.....

Don,  about how long did your conversion from 4.3 to 4.4 take?  We are
getting
ready to upgrade this weekend.  We are currently on a 500 box.

Just curious.....
