Attention

You can order Extended Long Term Support (ELTS) here: TYPO3 ELTS.

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.
