How to update RaZberry software?

[newbie2]

Hi All

Over a year ago I bought my first RPi and a RazBerry. Installed Z-wave.Me (v1.4.1-rc1) and started adding zwave devices.

Now I have my house full of Aeon micro switches, wireless sensors, Leviton controllers, energy meters, a thermostat, etc. Over 20 devices in total.
All managed from the Expert UI ("blue") and a crude custom PHP page I wrote using the /ZWaveAPI/Run/devices URL in its various forms.

Just today it occured to me to check on software versions, and realize I'm WAY behind. Of course I'd love to upgrade/update for new functionality, but I'm a bit worried about losing my current setup or incompatibilities coming up.

So at the moment my questions are:
Should I update? to which version? How can I make sure I keep my config,settings, programmed devices, etc after the transition?

And while I'm at it.. what's the best way to perform the upgrade? My Pi is exactly as it came from the store, plus the RaZberry i got at that time. Nothing else. I can ssh to it on the pi account and get to the shell.

I'd appreciate any advice.

I can't answer if you should update or not.. but...

z-wave installation: (more stabile version)

wget -q -O - http://razberry.z-wave.me/install | sudo bash

BETA Versions: (I use them)
wget -O - razberry.z-wave.me/install/v2.0.1-rc18 | sudo bash

rc18 now and maybee rc 19 in a few days and soo on..

Should I update?

If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

Thanks!

What happens to the settings and database of devices? Do they survive an update?

I see that Network Management has a backup option. Is it compatible with new versions, so i can restore after update?

Sorry for so many questions...

Sorry I don't know I only updated things since 2.0.1 RCx

I can warn you that the GUI are messy in V2.0 Naming in expert follow in the other Home auto module and it's not a GUI I can recomend for any one. But I never seen your GUI so hard to say if worse or better
