Backup vcsa 6.0 via snapshot and upgrade vcsa 6.7

Hi experts

I want to make a backup before migrating VSCA 6.0 to 6.7

It would be enough to in case of failure to reset a snapshot in this way:

Backup

1- Turn off VCSA 6.0

2- Connect Esxi and make Snapshot with VM off VCSA for BBDD consistency.

Upgrade

1- Turn on VCSA 6.0 and proceed to upgrade from VCSA 6.7 GUI

2- In case of success of the upgrade, remove snapshot from esxi

3- In case of failure, restore from snapshot from Esxi

Would this process be correct?

Regads!!

That sounds like a good plan.

Note that your Upgrade step 2 "In case of success of the upgrade, remove snapshot from esxi", isn't necessary. In case of a successful upgrade, you can actually delete the old vCSA from disk.
