      TID: Mystic BBS 1.12 A48       MSGID: 1:129/215 897fc24a       REPLY: 3:640/1116 e3e83c0b       TZUTC: -0400        MD> Can I just zip the entire mystic directory into 1 file as a backup        MD> mystic.zip? My hope is that         MD> if I do that, I will have something to fall back on.              Yes that would be maybe even overkill but a good idea to do that if you can.               MD> I assume I would then download the latest .zip update file, unzip it        MD> into it's own directory         MD> and do the upgrade from there, following the instructions of course.              I don't know which version you are upgrading to but yes you would unzip the       new one in a temp directory and there should be an upgrade.txt to follow.              The upgrade between A46 and A47 is one of the more painful ones        nfortunately. I waited too long in between releases on this one.              ...
