Description of my issue:
I am migrating to a new server running php 5.6. Before moving to the new server, I am migrating my Joomla 2.5 site to Joomla 3.x. And I have a question about whether or not Akeeba Backup 4.1.2 needs to be uninstalled before migrating. I couldn't update to a newer version of Akeeba Backup, primarily because the server php v5.3.26 limitation.

Everything is working fine. I've made a backup on my Joomla 2.5 site with Akeeba Backup and actually "restored" the site to a subdirectory (and a new database) where I will migrate to Joomla 3.x while the old website is still running. I am currently in the process of uninstalling those 2.5 compatible extensions that do not "one-click update" to Joomla 3.x.

Is Akeeba one of those components that I should uninstall and then reinstall the latest version after migrating? Or can I migrate and then update to the latest version of Akeeba Backup? Sorry if this migration info is on the site, but I searched and could not find it anywhere.

One other consideration is that, once I migrate to J3.x, I will be upgrading to Akeeba Pro/Admin Tools. Not sure if this makes a difference or not.

Thanks in advance for your response.

Regards,
Jeff

P.S. - I love this software and have used it many times to backup/restore/transfer to a new server. It has given me so much peace of mind as compared to before using Akeeba.

One correction... I am running Akeeba Backup 4.5.5

Thanks so much! Ok, I will leave it in place for the migration to Joomla 3.x, and then I'll install the Pro version over it once it's on the new server.
