Verify the Integrity of the Existing Server Project
Only server projects can be restored and then upgraded. Client and FEP projects cannot be restored; therefore, they must be deleted. However, if the Client/FEP station you want to upgrade on the same machine, you can perform the in-place Client/FEP project upgrade.
You should verify the following for a project before backing it up.
- Open SMC on the Server.
 
- In the SMC tree, select Projects node.
 
- In the Projects tree, select the project that you want to back up.
 
- In the Projects Settings tab, verify the following:
 
- Data Version is 5.0 and later.
 
- For backing up the project, the project must be 
Started.
