# Upgrade Lasernet Connector

## Backup Export

Before upgrading, we recommend backing up your configuration by using the backup tools provided by the Lasernet Group. Refer to this article dedicated to the [Backup](/v1/docs/fo-user-guide-backup) functionality.

## Install Lasernet Connector

For more information on installing a Lasernet package, visit [Import Lasernet Packages](/v1/docs/self-hosted-installation#import-lasernet-packages).

It is best practice to export a backup before and reimport afterwards. The necessary steps are described in [Migrate Lasernet Configurations between Different Environments and Legal Entities](/v1/docs/migrate-configurations-between-environments-and-entities) video series.

## Backup Import

For more information on backup import, visit [Import Lasernet Backup](/v1/docs/fo-user-guide-backup#import-lasernet-backup).

When using the **Import** functionality, all reports are updated to the new version you just installed (Stylesheet is refreshed, etc.).

This may take longer than manually clicking the **Update stylesheet button**, but it will ensure precision.

Note

Making an export before an upgrade, followed by an import, is good practice.
