   A team is upgrading Solutions Enabler on a production Linux host. They want to minimize downtime and ensure that if the upgrade fails, they can quickly revert to the previous version. What is the best approach?

   • AInstall the new version on a different host and test it, then decommission the old host.
   • BRun the upgrade directly over the existing installation without any backup, as the installer handles rollback automatically.
   • CBack up the current installation directory and configuration files, then perform the upgrade; if it fails, restore the backup and restart the daemon.
   • DStop the daemon, run the upgrade, and restart the daemon; no backup is needed because the upgrade is non-destructive.
