Hi everyone,

I’m currently running Unraid 7.2.3. The system has been working absolutely fine, but I’ve been busy and have fallen a few revisions behind. As of writing, the current release appears to be 7.3.1, so I’m trying to understand the preferred upgrade approach before touching anything.

Is the recommended Unraid upgrade path to jump directly from 7.2.3 to 7.3.1, or is it better to step through each intermediate release one at a time?

In other words:

• Do I go straight from 7.2.3 → 7.3.1?

• Or should I install each incremental release between them?

• Or is the preferred approach to jump within the same minor release line, for example 7.2.3 → latest 7.2.x, then step to 7.3.x, and then continue from there?
  

I realize every system is different, but I’m interested in what the Unraid-preferred method is, especially when skipping several point releases.

Also, if anyone has jumped this many versions at once, I’d appreciate hearing how it went. Did the upgrade complete cleanly, or did you run into plugin, Docker, VM, driver, or configuration issues afterward?

Thanks.

It should be fine to go directly to 7.3.1, read the release notes for 7.3.0 and 7.3.1, and always goof to create a flash drive backup just in case.
