    Hi,

    1. Stop all BE services. Go to the installation directory and grab copies of the Data & Catalogs folders. The Data folder contains the BEDB itself, as well as the backed up BEDB (bedb.bak);

    2. Run the installer for BE 16 and it will ask if you want to upgrade the media server. Do so, and once done, run LiveUpdate to install any patches. Once done, run a push-install from the media server to upgrade the remote agents.

    Thanks!
