Back up database entries when upgrading from FortiPortal 5.3.6 or later

Due to a technical limitation, some database entries must be backed up and restored prior to upgrading the FortiPortal.

To back up database entries before upgrading FortiPortal:

1. Contact your Fortinet support channel to obtain the before_upgrade.sh backup tool.
2. Run the backup tool on a Linux machine.
3. Enter IP address, port, and credentials to the database.

   For example:

   fpc@fpc-virtual-machine:~/Desktop$ sh before_upgrade.sh

   -e Warning: This script only works for 5.2.6+ upgrade to 5.3.x OR 5.3.6+ upgrade to 6.0.x.

   Enter SQL DB IP/HOST: 172.18.26.132

   Enter SQL DB PORT: 3306

   Enter SQL DB USERNAME: fpc

   Enter SQL DB PASSWORD: fpc
