Hi Howard, Note that I am not an OC expert but I will try to answer your questions the best I can. *Question: Backup of what, exactly?* You should always do a backup of your database and data files even if you have done that 100 times in the past.
*Question: What permissions? *The permission you set initially when you installed OC. Here is a link on how to install OC that could futher help you with your permissions question: http://doc.owncloud.org/server/4.5/admin_manual/installation.html#ubuntu-debianand a simpler version for Ubuntu is here --> http://forum.owncloud.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=6713 *What files ? *The new upgrade files you just downloaded *How do I do this ? *After you are done backing up your database and Data files copy and paste your new upgrade files into your OC installation directory * How do I know that they are "correct" ?* If after you've done all the steps below and you load your page and said upgrading your OC instance :) is all a matter of testing it it does not hurt to try.
