    Hi Luis,

    No, you can install SQL Backup 6 as an upgrade, which will overwrite version 5.

    Thanks,

    I'm sorry.
    I'm trying to know if both (5 and 6) can run together in the same pc.

    Thanks,

    Hi Luis,
    If you mean the UI then I'm afraid you can only have one version. They use the same client side cache and V6 needs to upgrade the V5 one before it can run, which then means V5 can't use it.

    If you reinstall and run V5 then it will work, but it will delete the client side cache and reload the data from the servers. This works fine as I've been doing it lots, but it can take a while if you have a lot of data to get.

    For the server components then you can run the backup 5 on one SQL Server instance and backup 6 on another on the same machine, but only one version per instance of course.

    Hope that helps :)
