Updating to Beta v-2.0.4 (2.5 mb)

Is it Recommended that the DB tables be deleted from the older version install prior to this newer update, Or will an overwrite be sufficient?

No need to. Simply make a backup copy of your config.php file and your files directory just in case anything goes wrong. Then upload all the new files EXCEPT config.php. Update should work properly.

I believe you also need to back up your /files folder, too. Or not upload the new one. This is where your plug ins are stored, and other folders that will not need to be updated.

You, you guys got it. Running the install steps each time should not overwrite the database or the /files folder but it's a good idea to keep a copy!
