Thanks, Mason. Are there some typical problems we should expect when
we upgrade or does it vary? Also wondering if it would cause less
problems to update to 3.4 or lower, then update again later.

I work in a small school library. The school's computers run on an

Dell server just died and I have some questions.
Our new IT guy found a link to download Koha to a Mac, but that is
version 3.0 - we originally had version 2.9, but I know that Koha
is up to 3.6 at this point. Is it recommended to download to a Mac
no, it's quite tricky, and very few people on the Koha-lists run
Koha on OSX
We do not need the capability to connect to other libraries in a
network, but I do use the z39.50 function to import MARC records.
So, first ?, should we go with the Mac download or install a new
Linux server/computer?
go linux, not osx/mac
Second ?, our Koha records were backed up using CrashPlan so
hopefully we didn't lose anything. When we re-download Koha
(whether on a Mac or with Linux), I would love to use an updated
version. Are we going to have problems restoring the original data
into an updated version?
you will have some problems, a Koha-2 to Koha-3 update is not
straight-forward
only consider upgrading to the current stable version of Koha (3.6)
when you have successfully restored your existing version Koha-2.9
on linux
