When you run the installer and choose upgrade, it will ask you where to
store the backup files. Part of the backup files will be your site if it's
under the cfusion directory. So after the installer is run, delete the
cfusion directory, deploy the new .war or .ear files (depending on what you
selected), and then re-copy over the entire contents of the backup
directory, and you'll be fine.

As a side note, I'd suggest moving your site outside the JRun installation
directory just for easier maintenance. This allows stuff like upgrading MX
to occur without having to worry about losing my site! ;)

Dave.
