## Postgresql major version upgrades
Postgres uses separate directories for database locations between major versions (typically `/var/lib/postgresql/<version>/main`).
Therefore, it is recommended to stop Synapse and other services (MAS, etc) before upgrading Postgres major versions.
It is also strongly recommended to [back up](./usage/administration/backups.md#database) your database beforehand to ensure no data loss arising from a failed upgrade.
