I have worked 40 years for EMR Telemetry and was required to become an expert on computer hardware and software. The comment on each page about the possibility of posts being lost will happen only if the techs are incompetant.
The proper procedure is to take the servers offline at night after prior notice is given to users.
Step 1 then with the servers off line copy the database of posts to another computer
Step 2 update the servers
Step 3 restore the backup database
Step 4 verify database restored
Step 5 place the servers back online
