v2.5.0 has a new underlying OS (ubuntu 12.04 LTS 32 bit) and there is no direct upgrade path to this release.
Please download the new appliance from the download section on device42 website. In this section, we would discuss steps to have your existing data populated on the new appliance.
Prerequisite
v2.5.0 can restore from v2.4.2 and v2.4.3 appliances.
(If you are running a previous version, please send us a email to support@device42 with your current version and we would send you the link to upgrade to v2.4.2).
What is not restored
Not all the settings would be restored the new appliance. We apologize for the inconvenience. Improving this list is on our road-map for future releases.
- Backup pass phrase.
- Password pass phrase.
- Active Directory Settings (Just the settings for the server, all administrators and permissions would be restored)
- Time zone and NTP settings
- HTTPS certificates.
- Backup schedule and mail server settings.
- Appliance manager login info.

Default username and password, if you haven't changed it: d42admin/default
Generate the backup file
