Updating Jellyfin

[baileymb124]

Hi all,

I've been at this for about 6 months now and have amassed a nice collection of content on my Jellyfin server. It works great and my family and I love it!

Until now, I have been ignoring version upgrades because I didn't want to take the time to figure it out. Now that I am several versions behind, I think I should probably get caught up. So, a few questions:

1) On every update release announcement, I see something that says, "be sure to do a full backup before updating." What does a "full update" entail? Is that a manual process? What exactly do I need to be sure and save a copy of?

2) After I have completed the backup, how do you actually perform the update? Do you just install the new version over top of the current install?

3) Hopefully I won't need this one but, if things go sideways and I have to revert to the previous backup, what the process?

Thanks in advance for your advice.
