One is supported (Install and upgrade) and the other is 'on you' because you will miss something using the save files!!

Finally got the boss to approve the funds and have gained access to a 7.3 machine (hosted), so we finally get to retire our old 520, which is stuck at 7.1 TR10.

I haven't done an OS upgrade in 6 years, and haven't migrated to a new machine since 2006, so I'm a little out of my element.

What's the best way to get migrated from 7.1 to 7.3? The two suggested methods from the vendor are:

#1: Slip upgrade. Full system save via Go SAVE 21, FedEx them the tape

Or

#2: FTP over SAVFs created using the individual SAV commands

What's the difference between these two methods (besides the obvious digital vs physical media)? Is there a difference?

Thanks
