I'd like to upgrade to v.2.2 with the sitemap plug-in. I know that it's important to back up my vbseoconfig.php. From what I understand, the process is:
Overwrite existing files including .htaccess
What's next?
Thanks in advance.

@cmeinck:
Please use your XML file back up from within your vBSEO Admin CP (vbseocp.php).
1) Turn your forums offline.
2) Backup vbseo-all.xml from your ./vbseocp.php file.
3) Remove the vB SEO product from your AdminCP
4) Upload the new vB SEO product to your AdminCP
5) Upload all the files included in the ./upload folder. In BINARY, including your .htaccess file.
6) Re-open your forums.

Joe-
Could you elaborate on the install process? I'm still not very clear on the actual steps for the upgrade?
Thanks
Chris
Michael-1) Turn your forums offline.

Thanks. How do I bring back my config settings? Do I upload my "old" existing vbseoconfig after the process?

After the steps Michael indicated, from within your vBSEO Admin CP, import your XML backup file (vbseo-all.xml).
Ah sorry about that, i was sure i had forgotten something *7 steps to heaven* as Joe stated simply revisit your ./vbseocp.php file and you'll be presented with an upload box to import your backup file again.
