I am about to upgrade from Vault Basic 2012 to VaultPro 2014.
There are 3 servers that will be involved to get where I need to go:
Through several other ng threads I have come up with the following path:
So the one question I have left has to do with the content of the backups being used.
I have never done any customization to any of the standard content (content center).
Because of that I have never included that in my backups. I would assume in this upgrade process I could also ignore the standard content.

Im seeing some steps that you don't really need.
You could easily do the following:
2 Servers, the current production and then the future production server.
Backup using the ADMS Console on the production server.
On the future production server install Vault Basic 2014 and desired version of SQL.
Copy backup to the Vault Basic 2014 server and restore.
Upgrade Vault Basic 2014 to Vault Pro 2014.
You're right that you do not need to include the standard content in the backup unless you plan to still use Inventor 2012. Otherwise you can install the Inventor 2014 standard content after the restore.
Thank you,
As to the Standard Content I guess my question should say that will 2012 designs that have used the standard content (none have been customized) be able to find it's content from a newly installed 2014 Standard Content. I assume by your answer that this is the case.
As far as my steps were concerned, I added the extra server to breakup the amount of things being changed at once.
If I took a backup from my current production server and restored it to the new server it would be going from Vault 2012 to Vault 2014 AND SQL Express 2008 to SQL Standard 2012 all at once.
So my intent is to move to Vault Basic 2014 with SQL Standard 2012 on the new server and then upgrade my client base to 2014 looking at this before going to Vaultpro.
However, I have spent a lot of time updating my setups (templates, styles, etc) and am also changing some directory structure with my Vault. Because of that I wanted to restore a 2012 backup to 2014 (basic to basic) and do a bunch of testing. My intention was to do the testing on the temp server but I guess I could do it on the new server IF I can wipe the restored Vault from it when I am truely ready to move the client base up (since production would have still be going on during the testing).
Once you've created a content center part from the standard libraries it becomes a part (Library) within vault.
Thank you for the reply but it makes me needed to clarify what that selection means when scheduling a backup.
I read through the help files and they are not clear on whcih one this setting is talking about either.
Please see the attached image to better clarify what I am asking.
This means that Standard Content shown ADMS as libraries (not the library folders you see in the Vault client) will not be backed up. Custom libraries will still be backed up.
As people use parts, they become actual parts in the Vault library folders which are seen from the Vault client.
