Unfortunately you have to go through all major upgrades and then always take the last release: → 28.0.14 → 29.0.16 → 30.0.12 Version 30 is still supported until September this year. Or you go already to NC31.

You can safely upgrade from Nextcloud 27.1.5 to the latest stable release in the 27 or 28 series. As of now, Nextcloud 28 is the current stable major version. Check the Nextcloud admin updater or run the updater via the command line to see available upgrades. Always back up your data before upgrading. ---

> [@tflidd](#): > > You restore to the same version in general. Between version, the database structure gets some modifications/improvements. You are right. But what i had in mind was to do a Calender and Contacts Backup in \*.ics and \*.vcf Format, do a Backup of all files in `/media/Nextcloud-Data/var/nextcloud_data/` and so on. Do a fresh install of Nextcloud 31 and them import the datafiles, Calender and Contacts, etc. This might be much faster then update 27 → 28, 28 → 29, 29 → 30 and finally 30 → 31. ---
