Before uninstalling or upgrading any Siebel Analytics software, it is recommended that backups of key configuration files be made, and the files moved to a temporary location. The following sections show the locations of the configuration files under Windows and UNIX platforms. Windows PlatformsThe installer automatically backs up the Windows files shown in Table 6. The backup files are saved to the directory $INSTALLDIR\Install_Backup\<installation_date>.

If you are upgrading a Siebel Analytics Web Catalog from an earlier version, be sure to shut down the Web server first. UNIX PlatformsThe installer automatically backs up the UNIX files shown in Table 7. The backup files are saved to the directory $INSTALLDIR/Install_Backup/<installation_date>. (For example, SiebelAnalytics/Install_Backup/05.13.2005_16.40.20.)
