BIG-IQ keep information after upgrade

Hi buddies, How can i keep all the statistics, events and logs in bigiq and dcd after making an upgrade? Some partners did this and told me that they lost all the information

Hi Dirome,

For the BIG-IQ DCD, you can perform a Data Collection Snapshot beforce the upgrade (check the Pre-upgrade Tasks on BIG-IQ) and restore this snapshot after the upgrade.

Lived,

Then i'll lost all of the my information for default?
The snapshot is a good idea, but is possible restore the snapshot file from version 6.1 to 7.0?
