Re: [guide-user] Major bug in Guide update_Updating objects menu

Clay,

it is not a bad idea to backup your Guide installation prior to applying an
update. Particularly if is an "update to be tested" like that latest one.

Or, if you're lazy like me, at least keep the previous update ZIP-files on
hand to be applied if you want to roll back a bit. Not as safe as a full
backup, but better than nothing.

Arild :)
