It was mentioned that a new release will happen before too long, and I was wondering if a backup and restore of the Alpha 1 release will work with the new ISO?
I dont make many changes but I do add a few custom templates to enable DCC and disable RBLList, SBLList, etc because the default servers dont work for me.
btw, a few updates ago I began receiving the follow error with dnf updates, so will this affect the restore?
skipping packages with conflicts:
(add '--best --allowerasing' to command line to force their upgrade):
MariaDB-server x86_64 11.4.5-1.el8 smeos
Thanks for any info.

for the Mariadb upgrade this is a known breaking change that is something expected during alpha release. see https://bugs.koozali.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12930
It is needed to indeed add --best --allowerasing for that update.
We use a rolling release model. You do not have to backup and restore the server inside a same version of the server. If you keep up to date your packages you already have an almost beta1 version.

As you pointed out previously, I stupidly clicked on something shiney and LVM was installed on this test system, so I want to erase and install with the newer release to be rid of it. So, I'll be seeing how well backup /restore works between releases.
Happy to report that Mariadb updated fine, and although I dont use webmail /Roundcube it has no issues that I can see, and I've relayed months worth of emails through the test system with no issues either.

good to read.
so we have pressure to release fast so you can test!
