    We need to use the database backup and restore wizrad that comes with SEPM.

    Migrating to Symantec Endpoint Protection 11.0.6300 (RU6 MP3)

    Backing up the database
    Before you upgrade, you should back up the database.

      To back up the database
      1. Click Start > Programs > Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager > Database Back Up and Restore.
      2. In the Database Backup and Restore dialog box, click Back Up.
      3. When asked "Are you sure you want to back up the database?" click Yes.
      4. When you see the message "The database has been backed up successfully," click OK.
      5. In the Database Backup and Restore dialog box, click Exit.

    Yes, take the backup from the SEPM. We just do this to be on a safer side.
