Thank you so much for this ... this is the most logical upgrade plan that I've seen yet ...

Your done, now a hit while your making the changes won't impact a thing and the move will be completly transparent to visitors.

Unless you have a busy interactive site (with a forum perhaps) where someone may well have posted, or added a file to the repository on your live site after you have taken the backup.

For active sites we just create a directory called "maint" with a simple html file in it that says "The site you are visiting is currently undergoing maintenance" and point the the running site to that directory when the upgrade process starts.

Works great becasue it's always there no matter what. Site goes down for some weird error, point it the the "upgrade" folder :)
