I would like to ask again - how do I update the nightly builds preserving my entered data? Just a short howto please.
Michael
Where did you ask the first time? It depends some builds you can just overwrite the files some you need to reinstall.
Michael, I prefer to do fresh installs at least every few days. Once in awhile the database structure gets changed, files might get deleted, etc. One thing that's been helping me a lot is the extension CSV Extended. I wasn't able to get the built in one working, but this thing is working great. I have a spreadsheet with all my products (including child products) and re-upload them each time.
I like to use the latest developments and they are remarkably usable. Thank you for the advice that sometimes a complete new install is required.
The idea of keeping the products as cvs is very good. I am using csvimproved anyway, so if the database gets overwritten I can just upload again, matter of minutes.
Additionally it would be necessary to backup the product image directories as the images are not included in the cvs-file, only their names.

I'll add to that, the Translations...
