Upgrade without losing data
If you for any reason miss some versions, you simply setup afresh the new version without losing your data.
Steps to ensure not losing data during fresh setup:
Backup your database. you can use the export option in your phpmyadmin to export the database and store on your local device.
Compress the storage folder in the backend directory. Download/move the compressed stroage to a secure location.
Also download a copy of the .env file from your server in the backend directory
Upload and extract the New owners.zip to your server
Then upload back the .env file you download before to the backend directory
Also delete the newly created storage folder in your backend directory
Now import/upload the previously backed up storage folder, then unzipp/decompress it in the backend directory
Now you are set. Go to the backend url and login then go to the upgrade menu to perform the upgrade
A few clicks on the upgrade menu to upgrade the system to the latest version
