Merging Database during Upgrade

[t1m4nt]

Hi I am looking for some guidance. We have 2 different Vault Versions running... v4 and v8. We would like to combine them. I am looking for best practices on this conversion.

I am guessing I would upgrade 4 to 8. Then merge them?

Thank You.

The most effective method would be to

• 1. Upgrade Vault version 4 to Vault version 8. You will want to read through our Upgrading Guide for instructions.
  
  2. In the Vault version 8 that you had previously, create a new blank repository.
  
  3. Use the Vault Folder Export Import tool that installs with a Vault client to export from the upgraded Vault database to the new blank repository in the other Vault version 8.
