This seems like a pretty obvious question, but I don't see it addressed in the FAQ, documentation, or forums anywhere.

Edit: Well, I see this:
http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/UpdateingMediaPortal
But that makes it sound like I lose pretty much everything stored in the .db3 files. This is the most time consuming part of the setup, setting up channels, guides, and a movie database. /Edit

I am currently running 2.0.4. It is configured the way I like it, but I'd like to keep current and upgrade to 2.2.0 now that is is marked stable. How do I upgrade? What do I loose, and what do I keep? Do I install over the top, or remove it all install 2.2.0 clean and copy some config files back over.

Specifically, the move database is a pain to set up, and I want to make sure I don't loose it.

Thanks for any suggestions.
