My advice would be to open a support ticket and ask for assistance on verifying the Classifier settings will transfer in an upgrade, as well as how to back them up. I did experience some issues with it, and in hindsight it would be have been quicker to export the important settings, install a new server, and import those settings; trying to recover what went wrong did work but took forever (even though we don't specifically use it, the default settings ARE important to have working). It's possible support got a handle on our issue and it's not as big a deal now, though. Either way, support can provide more specific guidance.
