Updating my dedicated server to 20.1

I run a dedicated server running A20 and I want to update it to the newest experimental while still maintaing our progress. 

I am sure this has been asked but I can't find it, so please direct me towards some instructions.  

If left to my own choices I am thinking I should take and copy the folder: user/(myusername)/AppData/Roaming/7daystodie 

 Then delete the folder:

Games/steam/steamapps/common/7days to die dedicated server. 

Then go to steam and download the dedicated server for the new a20 experimental and replace the new ....roaming/7daystodie with the old one. 

That will work, right? 

 
Your serverconfig.xml is important to save so you get the settings to match.

I would just back up the appdata save folder and serverconfig.xml, then update through steam.

Also check any mods you are using to get A20.1 versions if available.

 
HI @Lord Morphleyes, I'm in the same boat as you. Did you manage to find instructions on how to upgrade your server to a20.1 while maintaing progress? I tried yesterday with SteamCMD appupdate command and it didn't work (and my game was reset to day 1)

 
I made copies like I mentioned and also the config xml as well.

After that I just went to steam then tools, to get to my server and properties and the update I wanted.

Then did the same for my game and on each of my famines computers.  It worked well all progress maintained and I did not need the back up saves I made.

@GlucozAre you going from A19 to A20.1 or the older A20 to A20.1?
