Updating Umbraco without deleting back office content
I'm trying to update our site from Umbraco from 7.12.1 to v7.15.5, but when I try and update the website it instead does a fresh installation and deletes everything in the backoffice.
Can you describe how do you upgrade?
Do you overwrite web.config file during the update ? - you shouldn't do it, be sure that web.config isn't rewritten during the update
Ok so for anyone else reading this the issue wasn't that erasing my database it was that it couldn't find the connection string to the database and instead made a new database on my local machine instead

I've read the documentation here

could anyone point me in the right direction ?
