Updating non-Steam server, how?

Original Post — Direct link

A couple of weeks ago I installed Eco_Server on a dedicated stand-alone Win10 computer on my home network. Since then there's been a couple of updates to the client (mine is handled by Steam), but my server needs to be manually updated. The wiki at SLP is 2 years old, and is not clear.

Is it really "copy your game instance files to another drive, delete the server completely, download the server package again from SLP, unzip it and install it where the original was, then copy back the saved game instance files before starting the server". If this is the case are the game instance files 'Game.eco' and 'any .eco files you edited along the way'?

Download the new server and move over your configs (without overwrite, to not override the templates) and storage directory from the old, then start the new one. Monzuns approach can leave files around that should be gone, which can include the web directory and is generally more time costly.

So if my current install is in C:\Eco I should download the new server and unzip it into a new folder called (for example) C:\Eco2 and move my config files (without overwrite) into the file structure in C:\Eco2 then start the server executable within C:\Eco2?

Rename your current install to \Eco2, download the new server into \Eco, then copy over the configs and storage directory from \Eco2 to \Eco, without overwriting the configs when asked, so the templates of the new server stay.
