I think this is a little bit of a disclaimer to be honest....

Obviously if you have done any specific settings on the appliance it is good to protect those but in the main a media server doesnt hold much configuration these days.

The storage in the shelves is pretty much self protecting so just note the EEB warning before the upgrade: https://www.veritas.com/support/en_US/article.000024896

and then follow the upgrade guide(s) : https://clientui-kb.symantec.com/resources/sites/BUSINESS/content/live/DOCUMENTATION/7000/DOC7585/en...

The EEB warning is really important but anything else should retain the configs that you have setup.

You can save the Media Server Host Properties to a text file from the Admin Console so that may be useful.

Good luck

if you upgrade to 2.6.1.x youll find a new policy for each upgraded appliance on your master.

This policy contains the selection you need to protect your appliance. You should add backup target, schedules and make the policy active.
