• Back up the Existing Installation
• Uninstall the Graph Studio Server

Back up the Existing Installation

Before you uninstall Graph Studio, you may want to make a backup copy of the current Graph Studio installation. There are three commonly used methods for backing up Graph Studio:

• Some users choose to make a copy of the Graph Studio system volume or journal, <install_path>/Server/data/journal/anzo.jnl. If you keep a copy of anzo.jnl, you can restore the original Graph Studio version by reinstalling that release and then copying the backed up journal file into the installation.
• Some users choose to copy or create a tarball of the entire Graph Studio installation directory, <install_path>/Anzo. A backup of the directory can be large, however, and you might want to remove log files to reduce the overall size of the directory before copying or compressing it. If you keep a copy of <install_path>/Anzo, you can restore that version by uninstalling the new version and moving the backed up directory to the original installation location.
• Some users choose to take a snapshot of the application disk.
