Comment 1 Dan Macpherson 2015-01-29 03:04:37 UTC

I can change it but it shouldn't really make a huge difference because the Installer script only updates the packages but not the database schema, while the db-control backup command backs up the database. The important thing is that the backup is performed before the spacewalk-schema-upgrade command.

Cliff, what would you suggest

I like the recommendation - always have a backup *before* initiating the upgrade process.

Push this change live:

https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Satellite/5.7/html/Installation_Guide/Upgrading_Red_Hat_Satellite_to_a_New_Version.html

Backup instructions are now the first step.

Feel free to reopen this bug if further changes are required.
