Hi, i'm running on production system OTRS 2.3.4 and ITSM modules 1.2.3

I want to make and upgrade to OTRS 2.4.2 with ITSM 1.3.1 modules

for this process i was reading the documentation and looking on the list but i have some question.

My system is running on ubuntu with tar installation

on UPGRADING file on un compresed otrs 2.4.2 directory says
---------------------
*) If possible try this install on a separate machine, althoug
   I had always only production machines to upgrade

*) Install the new release (tar or RPM)

.
.
.and the last item is

*) Log in as 'root@localhost' and select Admin -> SysConfig to make sure that
   OTRS updates the configuration files.
-----------------

1. i'm making the backup and trying this on test machine on linux

2. when says *) Install the new release (tar or RPM) is about untar the otrs-2.4.2.tar.gz on actual 2.3.4 directory???  i need to overwrite the installation?

3. the last item says that i need to log in as root@localhost. Why? the Config.pm file is overwrited?  my agents are stored on MSAD.  What files i need to restore from old installation?

Thanks in advance.
