The release notes say that you must start with a new database. I could be reading it incorrectly, but I don't think restoring the Bayesian db (which you can backup) is possible. I really don't understand why this is so hard for them. They do everything else so well (IMHO) that it just doesn't make sense.
When upgrading to version 4.0, your Bayesian Analysis configuration will be reset and turned off (see the BASIC > Spam Checking page) and you must start with a new dataset of at least 200 received messages marked as "spam'' and at least 200 marked as "not spam''. As with previous versions, Bayesian filtering will NOT take effect until 200 or more of each spam and not-spam messages are marked as such on the BASIC > Message Log page.

I wonder if you could backup your database, then restore it after the upgrade? From: Richard Stovall [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, October 08, 2009 8:45 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Barracuda 4.0.x Anyone upgrade from 3.5 yet? I logged on to ours this morning and saw that 4.0.1.006 is available. Skimming the release notes shows that it blows away your Bayesian database (I really wish they would stop doing that!), and that you have to re-enter your recipient domains in the Basic -> IP Configuration tab. Any other potential gotchas? Thanks, RS ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
