Hi Chuck, BaseX 8.3 is backward-compatible, so there should be no need to reimport your data. If you should encounter problems when opening your databases with the latest version, please give us another reply. Best, Christian

Copying the data folder is the better choice; otherwise, you'll end up with conflicting JAR libraries in the lib directory.

Hi all, Is there a recommended best way to upgrade the BaseX software while retaining the data? Perhaps to generate backups of the databases, then restore them to the new instance? I mostly run in standalone CL mode. Thanks, Chuck

Hi Christian, So, just unzip the 8.3 files over the 8.2.3 installation? Or copy the data into the new installation? Thanks, Chuck

Written for BaseX 8.3. BaseX may have changed since: please check the current documentation.
