database/schema at the QC11 database server (if you are using a new

database server)

databases/schemas however is important to take backups.

4. Install QC11, if you are using the same application server you must uninstall

QC10

database. When migrating, to keep users, user configurations, and site

administration parameters you must install using the same database

name that was used to restore the project in your DB server. Select
