VB 3.0.9 to 3.8.1?

[gigaenvy]

Hi,

I recall testing and successfully using Impex to upgrade my 3.0.9 DB to 3.6.x. The results were acceptable without going into further drama of the minor peculiarities that were notice. Regardless, now that I have an updated site running in development under 3.8.1, can I perform a similar upgrade in one step from 3.0.9 to 3.8.1 or will I face total failure?

Can someone confirm whether there is legacy support in the current Impex for the backlevel I'm running?

Thanks,

Gigaenvy

You should never use ImpEx to upgrade. You should upgrade normally.

The upgrade is database and not filesystem. VB 3.8.1 is a new install that will require my 3.0.9 DB users and posts, etc. Sorry if I was not clear.

It was clear. You should never use Impex in lieu of upgrading normally.
