# Updating - Bests practices
- Anytime you update to a major version make a backup of foundry's data directory (default : `%localappdata%/FoundryVTT/data/`).
- Take time to upgrading to a major version (ex FoundryVTT v9->v10).<br>A lot of bugs can be on firsts patchs, and a lots of systems/modules won't upgrade fast and will be incompatible or not tested (a lot of us do it only on our free time).<br>If you need some timing windows: let at least 2 weeks to 1 month.
- Anytime you update to a major version:
- **Foundry**: make a backup of foundry's data directory (default : `%localappdata%/FoundryVTT/data/`).
- **Forge**: you will be prompted on Foundry upgrades (both major and minor) to download a local copy of the world for backup. It is recommended you complete this step to avoid data loss.
- It is recommended that you wait for some time before a major upgrade (ex FoundryVTT v9 -> v10) when a new version is released. This are a number of reasons to avoid immediate upgrades:
- Several modules your world uses will have a lot of bugs introduced that aren't fully corrected in the first few patches.
- Several systems/modules won't update quickly, will be incompatible with the current Foundry version, or left untested (the developers for a many of modules and systems only make updates in their free time).
- A solid recommendation for update delay should be somewhere in the range of 2 weeks to 1 month, if not longer. Generally, this is less of a concern with minor upgrades which don't change core systems in Foundry.
- Make sure you check the compatibility of your world's modules with the new versions and potentially disable certain modules if there is little chance of a near-term update. A good tool to use for managing modules profiles is [Module Profiles](https://foundryvtt.com/packages/module-profiles) to ensure that game-breaking modules can be deactivated by having a master profile.
