Thanks in advance

I'm quite surprised that I could not get an answer

Maybe, because you could search a little bit yourself?
UpdateingMediaPortal - MediaPortal Wiki Documentation
MEDIAPORTAL - free MediaCenter HTPC Software - MediaPortal / TV-Server 1.0 RC1 released!

For the TV-Server I would make a backup of the Database.

Thanks for your answer but lets accept website structure does not allow you to easily find information that you are looking for.

I would also like to point out that the "UpdateingMediaPortal - MediaPortal Wiki Documentation" is not very thorough. In particular, it does not tell you that the locations for much of the user data have changed (to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Team Media Portal\...). It also does not tell you how to maintain your TV settings (channels, groups, WebEPG data, etc.).

I installed 1.0 with TV Server since it was recommended, not realizing I would have to do a major install of SQL Server (which I don't want). When I uninstalled and tried to reinstall with the internal TV Engine it would not install MediaPortal at all. It said it did, but there was nothing installed! (I will report this in a separate post).

My point is I really think that when a new version is released there needs to be installation instructions (including upgrading) included in the release.
