+====== Migration Guide from eFa v3 to eFa v4 ======
+===== Overview =====
+Migrating from v3 to v4 is possible using the backup and restore functionality of eFa.
+The process involves doing the following:
+  - Initial preparation (fact gathering)
+  - Preparing v3 appliance
+  - Preparing the v4 appliance
+  - Shutting down the v3 appliance
+  - Configuring the v4 appliance and running a restore
+If successful, all databases will be transferred to v4 with upgraded schema and compatible settings will be transferred.
