Cautions and Disclaimers
- This document shows how to update from DSS V8.0.4 to DSS V8.1
- Please note that the following instructions only apply to DSS Baseline. If you are using a customized version of DSS, that will be a case-by-case discussion if you want the update. Please consult Tech Support for more information
- Only Baseline DSS Express and DSS Professional can be upgraded in this way
- Because DSS is Server-client structure, you need to upgrade DSS Server before upgrading DSS Client
Step by Step Instructions
Part 0: Check the Current DSS Version

2. Click on the folder icon to select the directory where you want to save the backup file. Then, click on [Backup Now]
3. Insert the Login Password of DSS Client and Encryption Password twice.
In the end, Click on OK and DSS will export the Backup File automatically.
