After succesfull setup using Accelerator can I update my instances via remote desktop? For instance, my deployment is currently using version 6.2 and I'd like to go to version 7.

Thanks,

Bond

Sure!!

A way to do that is effectively via remote desktop:

1. First do a backup!:
   1.1. Site contents:
   1.1.1. Connect via RDP to your SMB server
   1.1.2. Zip your site contents and store it on your favorite place (I usually install a storage explorer tool and save it on Azure Storage
   1.2. SQL contents:
   1.2.1. Connect to you Azure Management Console and use the Export tool from the database dashboard
2. Upgrade:
   2.1. Connect via RDP to your SMB server
   2.2. Download the upgrade package from CodePlex
   2.3. Unzip it into the VHD drive ("/dotnetnuke" folder)
   2.4. Browse your portal to start the upgrade process
   

FTP and WebDeploy Support have been implemented (pending a new package), so you could upload the upgrade package by using any of these protocols soon.
