So I run several basic servers:
Sickrage
Couchpotato
Mylar
Transmission
Sabnzbd
SR, CP and Mylar all auto-update from within the application
Sabnzbd alerts to updates but doesn't update automatically (yet)
Anyway, from the Plugins Tab on the Freenas console there is sometimes the option to UPDATE the plugin.
In the past I have done this once or twice and cause a major headache for myself because I didn't realize I would loss all the application settings/configurations.
My questions is this:
Is it better to just update through the application or is there a benefit to updating the plugin from the published PBI?
If the PBI has added benefit, what is the method to saving/backingUp/ preserving application settings and data?
