Thanks, Chris! I'm pretty sure we have 2.9, should we still go to 3.0.0 first (you had written 2.2.x - not sure if still the same concept) On Mar 6, 2012, at 4:09 PM, Chris Cormack wrote:

Thanks, Mason. Are there some typical problems we should expect when we upgrade or does it vary? Also wondering if it would cause less problems to update to 3.4 or lower, then update again later.
If you are coming from 2.2.x you will need to go 3.0.0 first, then you can go to 3.6.x from there.

I work in a small school library. The school's computers run on an Apple server. When we installed Koha, the tech used a separate Dell server with Linux and connected it to the library Mac. The Dell server just died and I have some questions.
Our new IT guy found a link to download Koha to a Mac, but that is version 3.0 - we originally had version 2.9, but I know that Koha is up to 3.6 at this point. Is it recommended to download to a Mac
no, it's quite tricky, and very few people on the Koha-lists run Koha on OSX
We do not need the capability to connect to other libraries in a network, but I do use the z39.50 function to import MARC records. So, first ?, should we go with the Mac download or install a new Linux server/computer?
go linux, not osx/mac
Second ?, our Koha records were backed up using CrashPlan so hopefully we didn't lose anything. When we re-download Koha (whether on a Mac or with Linux), I would love to use an updated version. Are we going to have problems restoring the original data into an updated version?
you will have some problems, a Koha-2 to Koha-3 update is not straight-forward
only consider upgrading to the current stable version of Koha (3.6) when you have successfully restored your existing version Koha-2.9 on linux

Im 99% sure you have 2.2.9 because we never released a 2.9 :) Chris
lol - hmmm.... Maybe we have 3.0 - we installed in fall/winter of 2010 - guess we'll see. You're dealing with the Koha user, not the IT person (no kidding, right?) Thanks, Shelley On Mar 6, 2012, at 5:23 PM, Chris Cormack wrote:
