Upgrade from 2.3.0 - steps?? help

Hi,

I'm looking for some instruction to upgrade my board. I got the old vb 2.3.0 version and want to update to the generation3.

My question is what the right steps to take are since i'm new to this. :ermm:

- backup my site (ftp and mysql)
- run update files from vb

The update process will mean that i lose my hacks right? Most of them are converted to gen 3 already so i can place those back once my script is upgraded right?

My main problem is this.. my community is growing daily, now if i backup my mysql database, it will be "old" before i have upgraded everything, hacks etc. How can i install all hacks and modifications needed without losing newly posted threads on my active database? I don't want to close down my board for a few days as well to arrange this all.

Can anyone who's had the same issue explain to me how they did this?
