__TOC__
 
 
== Backup important data ==
 
Although it is not strictly necessary, it is always a good idea to make a backup of any production system before a major upgrade, just in case you need to revert back to the older version for some reason. In fact, it's a good idea to automate your server to backup your Moodle installation daily, so that you can skip this step.
 
There are three areas that need backing up:
 
=== The Moodle software directory itself ===
 
=== Your data directory ===
 
=== Your database ===
 
== Install the new Moodle software ==
 
=== Using a downloaded archive ===
 
=== Using CVS ===
 
== Finishing the upgrade ==
