Q…? If I’m only updating from WP 1.5.1 must I also back up the database and/or MySQL on the server? The instructions (which I’ve read & re-read) are a bit ambiguous. See link below:

Normaly, you don’t *have* to backup squat. However, should something go horribly wrong, you’ld have no way to get it back. Generaly it’s a good idea to backup the database when upgrading. I’d recommend it.
Better safe than sorry.
