[support] Upgrading Drupal

[Genevieve Romier]

Hello,

I always backup the database before to upgrade. In case of problem it is 
very useful and it take a few time.
We use also a test site to test all upgrades. That is just a copy of the 
site. With a test site you can try on your own configuration and with 
your own modules what you want without risks.

Best regards,
Geneviève Romier
