KB82226518: Suite12.2 installer is asking me to create a RestorePoint. I cannot find this option.

Question

Suite 12.2 installer is asking to create a RestorePoint, where to do this?

Answer

When you are upgrading from Suite12.x, the installer checks whether a recent RestorePoint has been created. The terminology used is indeed not correct anymore.

In a version older than Suite 12 assembly 1, the Server Admin tool provided a button to create a RestorePoint (snapshot backup of your configuration, resources and the Automation Engine databases).

From Suite12 assembly 1 onwards, the new terminology for a RestorePoint is Full Backup (i.e. full backup of your configuration, resources and databases of the Automation Engine).

So if you have a recent full backup available, you can confirm the installer's question and continue with the update.
