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-debian and 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.

    Hi,

    I'm trying to understand the following instructions which are
    somewhat perfunctory:


    Update is to bring an ownCloud instance to its latest point
    release, e.g. ownCloud 4.0.6 ? 4.0.7.To <http://4.0.7.To> update
    an ownCloud installation manually, follow those steps:

            . Do a backup.

    Question: Backup of what, exactly?

            . Unpack the release tarball in the owncloud directory,
    i.e. copy all new files into the ownCloud installation.

            . Make sure that the file permissions are correct.

    Question: What permissions? What files ? How do I do this ? How do
    I know that they are "correct" ?


            . With the next page request the update procedures will run.

    Question: What does "page request" refer to ? What "procedures"
    are being referred to?


    Thanks,


    Howard
