While it is restarting the publisher will it affect users? You mention also a reboot how do you know before that it will happen so you schedule time and not affect users?
As long as your network devices have another (subscriber) ClearPass node, there should be no effect on the end-users, as long as your have virtual IPs, backup radius server config, loadbalancers or other methods to get authentication to another ClearPass node, the users should be able to authenticate normally. There is one exception and that is when database updates need to be done, like creating new accounts or update profiling information, those will be kept until the publisher is up again.
Yes, under server manager you can backup your ClearPass configuration and databases. If you run ClearPass on a VM, you can shut down the ClearPass, create a snapshot and then do the upgrade. That allows you to revert back if needed.

Hello Herman, Can you make video on how to step by step migrate from 6.10.x to 6.11.x, or share a document if any.
