Upgrading NetWorker from 19.3 to 19.6

Question

Hello we are planning to update NetWorker to 19.6 we're currently 19.3.0.4 Build 191. I was curious if anyone has gone through this upgrade before and if there are any limitations that I should be aware of as this is the first time we are doing a NetWorker upgrade. We are running NetWorker on Windows Server 2019. The only time consuming hurdle I see so far is the vproxy as we have 19 of those and will definitely need to upgrade them per the compatibility matrix.. The steps so far seem to be straight forward Upgrade NetWorker Server Upgrade NMC Server Upgrade Storage Nodes Upgrade the vProxies Upgrade clients (optional can be on later date)   Thank you.

I do not see a general problem. However, I would change the sequence as follows:

Upgrade Storage Nodes
Upgrade NetWorker Server
Upgrade NMC Server
Upgrade the vProxies
Upgrade clients (optional can be on later date)

The reason is that the SNs are prepared for the new features when the NW server will be updated.
