when upgrading my server to 8.5.1 it said it was installing 8.5 , which was worrying, then when it was upgraded I found my original mail85.ntf file had been overwritten by a new template which does not allow archiving from folders ( why wasn’t a new one created with a new name?), this design was updated to our users overnight , so I’m not too happy I can tell you. Also I don’t see a new cab file installed , is one available or do users continue to use the old one?

Heather, when doing an upgrade, a good practice is to backup the DD, notes.ini, server id file and any templates, especially customized ones. You might also benefit by renaming the custom templates to something that’s not a standard Notes template. As far as the cab files go, I don’t know.

thanks Peter , I had a full backup just a bit miffed that they didn’t rename the template as they usually do.
