Warning! Be careful when 'upgrading'

I downloaded the "changed files only" version of the latest 1.3.0.2 bugfix, read the install.txt file, copied the files to my server, browsed to zc_install, followed the instructions, selected "install"...and wiped my database clean, losing all my orders!

It turns out I should have selected "database upgrade" instead of "install" (I think). Does this copy the changed files as well? I'm still not sure how the upgrade is meant to work.

Meanwhile, my backup is at work and I'm off on holiday tomorrow, so the shop will have to stay offline for a while! Very unhappy. :-(

to upgrade,
you need to upgrade fhe php etc files manually,
then run the zc_install,
choose UPGRADE
