Best practices for build to build upgrade

[jerblack]

What steps should I be performing to ensure my CloudDrive survives a build to build upgrade with no problems? I've been (1) clearing my local cache and then (2) detaching the disk before upgrading, and then I just reconnect to the disk after upgrading and rebooting. Is all that necessary, or are there additional steps I should be performing to be safe?

 

To be clear, I am talking about upgrading periodically from here: http://dl.covecube.com/CloudDriveWindows/beta/download/. I've been upgrading every 3 or 4 builds recently.

 

Thanks.

I just upgrade, never had an issue afterwards. New features often just require you to make a new drive to be activated, but the old ones still work

I don't even reboot. If you stop the service before running the update installer, it does not prompt you to reboot and starts the service back up for you.

There should be no issues with upgrading.  Specifically, if there are any architectural changes to a provider, we specifically account for this and ensure that older drives will continue to work as expected.
