Hello Fabrice, I found the documentation explaining how to restore from a backup but I don't think it applies to our case, given we are in a cluster environment: https://packetfence.org/doc/PacketFence_Installation_Guide.html#_how_to_restore_a_standalone_packetfence_server
I don't know how to join the cluster with the upgraded packetfence on debian 9. Or perhaps the path to follow would be: - restore data to the upgraded node 3 using this howto - apply the changes to the schema - clear db and all on the other nodes and upgrade them to debian 9/packetfence 9.1 - use the clustering procedure to create a new cluster from node 3 Or is there another way, that would not cause an interruption of service ?
