OSX Server Upgrade locked

I was upgrading my OSX Server to Mavericks,

so went from 10.7.5 to 10.9 OK

10.9 to 10.9.2 OK


Then needed to upgrade the server software to latest version.

Downloaded and installed - OK.

The clicked on the server icon to start the migration/upgrade.

This started 6 hours ago and now is stuck at 75% on the progress bar with 'upgrading services'.


We have about 20 email users on the systems and am reluctant to force a restart.


Rest of the machine is responsive.


What should I do, leave it for longer, restart, go back to my backup (CarbonCloneCopier).


Any suggestions most welcome.


Thanks

Carl

After leaving over night, the server reported that it had completed the update will some errors (phew).


After clicking OK, server came back up. External emails OK.


Only issue with it is related around our certificates and the remote mail system.


So moral of the story is 'be patient' & have plenty of backups - it took over 6 hours to process our emails.


Right, back to sorting out remote mail
