Hello,
I have to prepare some slides about an overview of DS upgrade methodology ?
Version is from 5 to 7.5 and OS can be from Windows to Linux ou Unix
does anyone have some "material" about this ?
Thanks
upgrade from 5 to 7.5 and from Windows to Linux

Comes with the product... document is called something along the lines of the Installation and Upgrade Guide oddly enough. 
Make sure you order the 7.5 media and read the one from that version. In a nutshell, the process should be as simple as:
1. Export all of your current jobs
2. Install 7.5 on the new server
3. Import all of your current jobs
Only other 'gotchas' might be anything O/S specific - pathnames, routines, etc that are Windows specific that will need to be changed to run on a UNIX server. That and a way to transfer hashed file contents to the new server, if there are one that you need to do that with.
