I am on-call this weekend. If I get called out I will install NPM 10.7........after a proper database backup and a snapshot of the VM.
One day many years ago, I was lax and did not backup the configuration of an appliance before an upgrade. Of course the unit was having a trouble booting after the upgrade and I was really upset with myself and nervous.
While I was waiting for the system to live or die, I took out a paper notepad and hand wrote in cursive "I will backup before upgrades!" until I filled the sheet. Ninety minutes later the system returned from the zombie state and I took a backup before doing anything else.
I have the "I will backup before upgrades!" notepad paper at my desk and look at it every day to remind myself not to be so foolish ever again.
Friends don't let friends upgrade without backups.
