I usually combine an upgrade with a recover from the checkpoint, so I
p4 admin stop
p4 admin checkpoint {actually I don't use the admin commands}
backup all db.* files
copy in new p4d executable
recover from checkpoint
p4d -xu (if that's the right options... there are upgrade instructions in the
release notes. There is a step where metadata is converted...)
p4 admin start
