Apple will release macOS 10.14, aka Mojave, on Monday, Sept. 24 as per APPLE EVENT ANNOUNCEMENT.

Let’s  Prepare for Mac OS 10.14  aka Mojave
Before we  install or upgrade we require to backup first.
We can backup as follow:
Timemachine backup (https://support.apple.com/en-in/HT201250) 
manually copying the data to external HDD 
if you are using iCloud upload the documents to iCloud.


It is determined that 20GB of storage space should be more than enough to install macOS Mojave if you are out of space you can optimise (https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT206996)

If you are in enterprise you have the option to stop updating Mojave using MDM upto 90 days.

If your enterprise has more Mac and which needs to be upgraded to Mojave I recommend to set up content cache service ( https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/manage-content-caching-mchl3b6c3720/mac )
