Update instructions: How to upgrade vs. Upgrade manually

[Crizz0]

Hey,

on this page: https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/13/admin_manual/maintenance/upgrade.html The 4th list item is telling the user what directories need to be kept and uploaded with the "Manually upgrade"-method.

But if you follow the 2nd list item link to: https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/13/admin_manual/maintenance/manual_upgrade.html There is no word, about this directories to keep. Instead you need to rename your nextcloud directory, upload things and copy some directories from nextcloud-old to nextcloud.

This should be adapted, maybe just the 4th list item is no longer needed on the How-To-page. But right now, it is a little confusing and both method work, but to mix them up, will maybe lead to trouble.

It is, and this is what the copy statement makes sure. The only missing part in the manual upgrade is that the config files are not copied over despite the are mentioned in the very first step.

Let's make this a little bit more clear. The first page tells the reader:

Delete your existing Nextcloud files, except data/ and config/ files, on your hosting account. Then transfer the new Nextcloud files to your hosting account, again preserving your existing data/ and config/ files.

and this is written as the 4th point and called "manually upgrading". When you click on the link "manually upgrading" on the 2nd list item, then there is a completely different method, not fitting for a shared hosting guy and no even mentioning the above quoted paragraph. This doesn't fit together and should be improved to avoid problems on the user side, who try to make an update.
