Hi, the uprading does work like by Joomla! - it is standard upgrade method, when upgrading:

- database is not affected, data not removed
- Options are stored in Joomla! tables not in Phoca Gallery tables and are not changed when upgrading.

What is changing, are the files, so if you did some customization in files, such needs to be backed up.

UPGRADE means, you don't uninstall previous version. You just install the new one over the old one.

Hi, mostly the best way is to compare the files and add the changes to the file :idea:
