upgrade steps from System Recovery 2013 to VSR18

A customer is running System Recovery 2013 on Windows 7. They want to upgrade to VSR18 with all their data, jobs intact. Do we have any step-by-step guide or documentation that explains this process? I don't want to have to create a step-by-step guide from scratch...

    Yes, you could do it that way but it does seem like a lot of work just to avoid re-creating the backup job which is pretty simple and quick (unless you are talking about multiple machines here?).

    Remember that a reboot is needed after each install/upgrade.

    Yes, upgrade is simple; run the installer and it will handle everything for you.

      Right. So I guess in their case, it would be a two step process. Upgrade from System Recovery 2013 to System Recovery 2013 R2 or VSR16 and then upgrade from System Recovery 2013 R2 or VSR16 to VSR18, correct? The actual step is to just run the installer I guess and the installer will handle the rest keeping the jobs intact. Is this understanding correct?
