## Backup and update configuration [#backup-and-update-configuration]

> #### 💡 TIP
>
> Save any modified **data provider configurations** or **custom data providers** to a **configuration template** to prevent overwriting during the upgrade. Save the templates before you copy the new template from **client 000**, even if the **V3.0 ABAP Add-on** is not installed.

1.  Access the menu `/n/NEWR/INSTALL` and navigate to **Update or Save Configuration Template**.
2.  Execute `/NEWR/REP_DELETE_INS_TEMPLATE` to remove the **HDB monitoring template** related to **Java monitoring**.
3.  Set up the **ABAP data connection** to the **HANA database** using `DBACockpit`.
4.  Copy the **configuration template** from **client 000**.
5.  Modify the **monitoring system configuration**:
    -   Add the new **DB connection**.
    -   Remove references to the **Java Enterprise Connector** (e.g., **NR_EI_AGENT**).
    -   Add **HANA_DB** to the **monitoring groups**.
    -   Re-generate **data provider configurations** to update settings.
