## Upgrading from version 1.2.5 to 1.3.1

Version 1.3.1 is a drop-in replacement for version 1.2.5 with no data migration required.

Version 1.3.1 introduces changes to the data node configuration file.

### Step 0: Back up your cluster before upgrading to version 1.3.
It is recommended to create a full backup of your cluster prior to executing the upgrade. If you are 
already have incremental backups being created as part of your standard operating procedures, you should 
trigger a final incremental backup before proceeding with the upgrade.
<dt>
Note that you need to ensure you have sufficient disk space before triggering the backup.

The following command uses the [version 1.2 backup syntax](https://docs.influxdata.com/enterprise_influxdb/v1.2/guides/backup-and-restore/#syntax) 
to create an incremental backup of your cluster and it stores that backup in the current directory.

```
influxd-ctl backup .
```

Otherwise, you should create a full backup before proceeding. 
The following command uses the [version 1.2 backup syntax](https://docs.influxdata.com/enterprise_influxdb/v1.2/guides/backup-and-restore/#syntax)
