[HELP] Upgrade process for .deb installation without losing any config? #1146

What is the best procedure to update a .deb version installed?

Download the latest .deb package and install via sudo apt install ./python3-thingsboard-gateway.deb -y ?

I have a device with Thingsboard IoT Gateway version [3.0.1] and would like to update to the latest without losing any config or connectors configuration.

Thanks in advance.

I found out the hard way. On one server I completely lost the configuration. On another server I was lucky to have a backup of rest.json and tb_gateway.yaml.
