FileMaker 12 to 16

[Charles Spivey]

We are currently running FM 12 with Super Container that was installed on 03/06/2014. I understand that we would need to upgrade, but will it wipe out what is there? I am the IT person for our company and when our FM programmer died, I took over with FM. I know that I might sound stupid, but I want to make sure that we won't lose any data. Will the Super Container be easy to upgrade for a very rusty FM caretaker?

Also, sorry I have not found out where to get the version number of the SC.

SuperContainer data is stored in a directory on the server - you can make sure you backup your HD so you have copies of all the original files. The default locations for the file storage is http://docs.360works.com/index.php/SuperContainer#File_Storage

you can get the version number of SC by going to:  

http://domain_or_ip.com/SuperContainer  

Upgrading to a new version will update the server tomcat files and resources needed to serve images it will not delete folders where files are stored.
