Hi Dylan,<br>

You'll need to run this past UniSFA's committee as it's up to them to decide when they'd prefer Koha to be offline.<br>

I have no issues with you performing the upgrade. Koha regularly backs up the catalogue and configuration (which is then saved in several locations), but a fresh back up before proceeding is appreciated. Also, the VM should be getting back up images made with
semi-regularity, so have a look at that first before you commit to creating a new image.<br>

Send through another email once you're done and I can do some test runs.<span id="ms-outlook-android-cursor"></span><br>

<b>Subject:</b> Upgrade of unisfa-koha to Debian 10 "Buster" and Koha 20.05</font>
<div> </div>
</div>
<div>Hi Blair,<br>
<br>
I'm looking to upgrade the operating system and Koha software on Unisfa's library catalogue server (unisfa-koha) to Debian 10 "Buster" and Koha 20.05, respectively.<br>
I was hoping to perform this upgrade either this week or next week, in the evening if it's a weeknight, or on Sunday if it's a weekend.<br>
<br>
As Unisfa's electronic library catalogue will be unavailable throughout this upgrade process, can you please advise as to when (and if) you would be happy for me to perform it?<br>
Once the upgrades are complete, I was also hoping that you (or someone else from Unisfa) could test it afterwards, if that's okay.<br>
<br>
Should anything go wrong during this process, I'm intending to first create a "snapshot" of the unisfa-koha VM, and an export of its database (hosted on mooneye), so that I can roll everything back and get it working again.<br>
<br>

Thanks, and kind regards,<br>
