Attention

TYPO3 v6 has reached its end-of-life April 18th, 2017 and is not maintained by the community anymore. Looking for a stable version? Use the version switch on the top left.

There is no further ELTS support. It is strongly recommended updating your project.

Backup

Make a backup first! If things go wrong, you can at least go back to the old version. You need a backup of

• all files of your TYPO3 installation (by using FTP, SCP, rsync, or any other method)

• the database (by exporting the database to an SQL file)

Also you may prefer to upgrade a copy of your site first, if there have been a lot of changes and some of them might interfere with functions of your site. See the ChangeLog to check that.
