3.9. Update Process
	Chapter 3. Installation

Klaros-Testmanagement can easily be updated by just installing the new version. Existing settings and data are automatically retained. Further information on the installation process can be found in Section 3.3, “Installation”. The Klaros-Testmanagement home folder will remain untouched, so all settings, database configuration and the content repository will be unaffected by the update process.

	Important
	The Tomcat application server must be shutdown before starting the update. Otherwise, the installation process cannot be finished successfully.

	Backup your data before updating!
It is highly recommended creating a backup of both the Klaros home folder and your database before starting the update process. Most database products offer utilities for backing up database schemes, so please refer to the relevant sections in the database vendor documentation for this procedure. In case you are still using the pre-configured Apache Derby database no further action is required and backing up the Klaros home folder is sufficient.
