Frequently asked questions
How do I upgrade Odoo Community to a newer version?
Upload your database backup to OCU, select your target version, and we handle the rest. The Odoo migration tool detects your current version, calculates the upgrade path (including multi-step migrations like 16→17→18→19), runs schema transformations, module migration, and data migration, and produces a ready-to-use backup.
What’s the difference between an Odoo upgrade and an Odoo update?
An Odoo update applies patches within the same major version (e.g. 17.0.1 to 17.0.2) — usually bug fixes and security patches. An Odoo database upgrade moves your database to a new major version (e.g. Odoo 16 to 17), which involves schema changes, Odoo data migration, and module compatibility adjustments. OCU handles version upgrades.
Can I upgrade Odoo without losing my data?
Yes. OCU preserves all your business data — customers, invoices, products, stock moves, and transactional records. We run integrity checks after every migration step. Your original backup is never modified; you always receive a new upgraded copy.
Is it safe to upload my Odoo database to an external service?
Yes. Your database is processed inside an isolated Docker container that is destroyed immediately after migration. Your data is used solely for the migration and is never read, analyzed, or shared. All transfers use HTTPS encryption, uploaded files are deleted right after processing, and migration results are auto-deleted within 72 hours. Servers are located in Finland (EU), we fully comply with GDPR, and no sub-processors ever touch your database files. We also offer an offline migration tool that runs entirely on your own machine if you prefer your data never leaves your network. See our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service for full details.
What is OpenUpgrade and does this tool use it?
OpenUpgrade is an open-source community project maintained by the OCA that provides migration scripts for Odoo CE. OCU takes a different approach — we generate migration scripts by analyzing the structural differences between Odoo versions using AST parsing, then validate against real databases.
What backup formats are supported?
Standard Odoo backup formats: .zip (with filestore), .sql, and .dump files. These are the same files you get from the Odoo database manager or pg_dump.
Which Odoo versions are supported?
OCU supports Odoo Community Edition versions 15 through 20. Direct paths: upgrade Odoo 15 to 16, upgrade Odoo 16 to 17, upgrade Odoo 17 to 18, upgrade Odoo 18 to 19, and upgrade Odoo 19 to 20. Multi-hop paths are chained automatically. For example, upgrade Odoo 16 to 19 runs 16→17→18→19, upgrade Odoo 18 to 20 runs 18→19→20, and upgrade Odoo 15 to 20 runs 15→16→17→18→19→20.
Does this work with Odoo Enterprise Edition?
OCU is built for Odoo Community Edition. Enterprise databases require Odoo S.A.’s official migration service at upgrade.odoo.com. If you want to upgrade Odoo Community to Enterprise, migrate your CE database to the target version with OCU first, then apply your Enterprise license.
How do I migrate my Odoo database to another server?
OCU produces a standard Odoo backup file (.zip with database dump and filestore). After migration, restore it on your new server using the Odoo database manager or pg_restore. The migrated backup works on any server running the target version.
