Question Will MariaDB upgrade wipe out all my existing data?

[Colonel36]

Server operating system version

Ubuntu 20.04

Plesk version and microupdate number

Plesk Obsidian18.0.57

Good morning.
I have Ubuntu 20.04 and Mariadb 10.3
I want to upgrade MariaDB to a higher version.
If I upgrade MariaDB will I lose all website data?
I have a backup here on Plesk.
Any help with updating MariaDB will be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks

Use this guide to back up your existing databases and upgrade to a higher version of MariaDB.

https://support.plesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/12388091703703--How-to-upgrade-MySQL-5-5-to-5-6-5-7-or-MariaDB-5-5-to-10-x-on-Linux-

I suggest that you upgrade to 10.6 or 10.11. These are LTS versions and receive longer support updates:

Check end-of-life, release policy and support schedule for MariaDB.
