    From Mojo@1:103/705 to All on Wed May 13 09:53:50 2026
    Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong each time I try to upgrade Synchronet to the latest version it changes all my setting and takes away the number of nodes I am running amoung other things and then I have to restore my backup. I think I'm following the instructions correctly but it never works and I have to bring back my backup.


    Thanks in advance for any help with this

    Sounds like you're overwriting some config files.

    I think I'm following the instructions correctly but it
    never works and I have to bring back my backup.

    Which instructions?

    Thanks in advance for any help with this

    What OS are you running? What exactly are doing to upgrade?

    What OS are you running? What exactly are doing to upgrade?

    I'm running windows 7 professional. I download the upgrade from your bbs and I read through that to try and do this correctly. But I'm not doing something right because I am running 10 nodes and when I do the upgrade it takes away some of the nodes and all my configuration I had is gone and my nets are not there anymore.

    That is what I am sure I have doen I'm just6 not sure what fioes I should not copy over into it.

    I'm running windows 7 professional. I download the upgrade from your bbs and

    What filename is "the upgrade" you're referring to?

    I read through that to try and do this correctly.

    Read through what?

    But I'm not doing
    something right because I am running 10 nodes and when I do the upgrade it takes away some of the nodes and all my configuration I had is gone and my nets are not there anymore.

    I'm not clear what upgrade you're referring to, what files your downloading or what you're doing with them. Please be more specific.
