10 David Johnson | Page #10 © 2009 Blackbaud What Every Blackbaud DBA Ought to Know Updates and Patches - Plan Ahead Testing\Planning  How long will the update take?  Will the install interfere with other software (has it been tested)?  Will the update conflict with mission critical business?  Does your server meet the new system requirements?  Are user ready for the new features or changes? How to test  One license for a Non-Production EnvironmentNon-Production Environment  Installs like a normal Application Server  Attach a copy of your most recent backup  Test environment Separate server Virtual Machine
