Wordpres Introduce its latest version So i updates my current versions and its harmful or not?

Update ist everytime the same procedure:

- backup your db
- delete all wordpress-directories except wp-content
- delete all wordpress-files in root except wp.config.php and your own files like favicon.ico etc.
- copy via ftp the new files on your space
- start your blog an anything is ready - maybe an update of your db is automatically done

If you have done changes to /wp-admin/ oder /wp-includes/ you have to backup them too.

I dont like the automatic update via dashboard. Dont ask why

All my updates in this way since wordpress 2.5 doesnt have had any problem.

PS: if you find some errors in my english - you can take keep them
