{note:title=Notice for Version 5.x}
* With the product name change from "CDP" to "Server Backup," the RPM package name changed. This means that after you upgrade from a pre-5.0 agent, you will need to manually start the new agent by executing the following command:
{{service cdp-agent start}}
* We recommend that you update the kernel module by running:
{{serverbackup-setup \--get-module}}
{note}

To upgrade the Backup Agent on Linux, follow the instructions below.

----
To upgrade Linux Backup Agent to version 5.x, perform the following steps.
A Full Block Scan will be initiated after an agent upgrade due to a restart of the agent service/daemon. This ensures replicas are consistent.

1. Execute the following command:

{code}serverbackup-setup --get-module{code}

The upgrade process can take some time.


2. Then manually restart the new Backup Agent by executing the following command:

{code}service cdp-agent restart{code}

A Full Block Scan will be initiated after an agent upgrade due to a restart of the agent service/daemon. This ensures replicas are consistent even after a server crash or reboot.

3. After the upgrade is complete, execute the following command to make sure that the latest version is installed:

{code}rpm -qa | grep serverbackup{code}
