We currently have replication setup of our SDP server to another server. If we pause replication, we have a full backup without having to worry about something going wrong with the update, We would like to update our SDP to 9.3 without running a full backup as our database is over 200gb. It will currently take hours to run a full backup and tons of space which we don't have.

Is there a way we can update SDP to the latest version without running a backup?

Thanks
