  4. By default, the Raven Database will be backed up prior to the upgrade. While this backup is recommended, clear the Backup Raven Database checkbox if you don't want the Raven Database backed up.

    Note: This upgrade process preserves custom modifications to the Web.config file for RavenWeb.

  5. Click Start. The Preview Site Binaries Update dialog displays.

  8. If you're sure that you want to continue with the wizard, click Next.

    Caution: From this point forward, the update process is not reversible.

    Note: The original name of the CMS instance is retained after the upgrade to version 10+. You may want to factor this into your CMS naming scheme by not including version numbers.
