Hi,
I am in the process of upgrading my ArcSDE Enterprise Geodatabases in SQL Enterprise 2008R2 from 10.0 to 10.1. (I have already installed ArcGIS Server 10.1, Web Adaptor 10.1, and Desktop 10.1. They are working great.)

It appears that I take backups first.
Then upgrade each Geodatabase in Catalog 10.1.
Will that be all I have to do? Or do I really have to uninstall ArcSDE 10.0 and install ArcSDE 10.1?
Thanks,
Janie

Hi Vince,
   Thanks for your help. The ArcDesktop (ArcCatalog) I was doing the upgrade with was 10.1. The SDE file was at 10.0. We did uninstall ArcSDE 10.0 after stopping the SDE services.
   We did not install ArcSDE 10.1. We are connecting to everything just fine.
Thanks so much for your help!
Janie
