October 5, 20223 yr I have been painfully running 6.2.4 for years and while its been somewhat stable I cannot stand missing out on the new features and plugins etc available in the newer versions. A few questions. Is it safe to manually upgrade all the way from 6.2.4 to the current 6.11 or even 6.10.3 or 6.9.2? if not, is there a version you recommend me upgrading to from 6.2.4? Shouldnt have went this long without updating but have not been able to do it except manually and thats made me nervous. After reading up on it, seems pretty straight forward. I dont have any plugins or VMs running. Just a 12 drive array, no cache, 1 parity.
October 5, 20223 yr There should be no problem jumping all the way forward. Before upgrading though, just make a copy of /config on the flash drive (along with all of the bz* files) You will most likely have to do a manual upgrade. Download the zip from https://unraid.net/download and extract all of the bz* files in the archive to the flash drive and then reboot
October 5, 20223 yr Author it appears I need to manually backup the config, is there any difference between pulling the files off via the network while the server is running or should I power down and pull the files off the flash drive right before manually extracting / overwriting bz* files?

IT WORKED ! smooth update all the way from 6.2.4 to 6.11.5. for anyone nervous about updating I hope this helps. Cant believe I didnt update sooner. SMDH
