Upgrading Forum Software (which was installed from auto-script)

[Jesus_Christ]

Hello I'm a very new member.

First of all,I only have one question,which is,for example,I've a forum (which is running free plan),its software is MyBB (latest,1.6.10) and it's pretty popular by now and I've a question. After upgrading whenever MyBB 1.6.xx releases. Will all my members,posts and threads will be gone? If so,how can I prevent it? I know about FTP,but is there any other way?

Thanks

Edit : fixed grammatical error

No, the data is not held in the software; it's in your database. The upgrade should use your old configuration file to point to the same database, so everything will stay the same.

Thank you so much,I knew that it isn't held over the software,but I was thinking that the database will be over-written by auto-script installer. this topic can be locked. Thanks for the fast reply.
