port updates

[Markus Mayer]

Hi all,
got a question about port updates.
I run a FreeBSD Box 5.4 release. I use the
server for webapps with php and mysql enabled,
also samba an ssh is running. Everything works fine
and stable.
Now i update the ports on my machine via CVSup and check the
installed packages for newer versions.

Now my question:
Do i run in trouble if i update my installed packages
like apache, php or mysql ? or does it work without problems.
Is it necessary to backup my config files and databases ?
Or what is the best way to get my apps up to date ?

Thx for your help
Markus
