Safe to upgrade Views module?

Posted by Triumphent on September 30, 2012 at 7:59pm

I have a bunch of views on my site that need translations in a couple of languages. The Internationalization Views module requires Views 3.5-dev to work (that what it says there anyway.) I have Views 3.5 installed and enabled. I have so many fields and views already developed, I am unable to disable the present version of Views.
Is it safe for me to just replace the existing module with the dev version and, maybe run the update.php?
Any pointer in that direction would be gretaly appreciated. Thanks. :)

it's as safe as the following of best practices to back up the DB and files before hand, so that if things go awry, you can roll back.

you don't have to disable the module first, however disabling it doesn't adversely affect already existing views. the site should be put into offline mode as well.

Thanks, it's much
