You won't typically find instructions for upgrading from one service pack to 
another in the guides - i.e., they won't necessarily be updated unless there's 
a specific cause to do so.

I.e.,

- If there's a major thing to consider, it'll be noted in the release notes 
(which are updated with each service pack)
- If there's a general thing to consider (e.g., caveats for upgrading from say, 
one major release to another), that'll be in the install guide
- Client upgrades rarely, if ever have caveats (last time I remember was around 
4.x -> 7.x NetWare client jump)
- Otherwise, treat an upgrade between service packs no differently to an 
upgrade between versions generally.

FWIW, NetWorker uses the terminology 'upgrade' to refer to jumping from one 
feature set (e.g., NetWorker, Network Edition) to another feature set (say, 
NetWorker, Power Edition).

An update, in NetWorker parlance, is changing the versions. So make sure when 
you peruse the manuals that you search for both 'update' and 'upgrade', in case 
any caveats are documented under one rather than the other terms.

Cheers,

Preston.
