The safest way to upgrade from an older (before version 1.20) BallroomDJ version is to do the following:

Rename the BallroomDJ folder (e.g. to BallroomDJ.old)
Install the new version of BallroomDJ
Copy the following folders and files from the old folder to the new folder:
- data/ (the entire folder)
  code/genres.tcl
  code/dancetypes.tcl
  code/dancespeeds.tcl
  code/dancedefaults.tcl
  code/ratings.tcl
  code/rules.tcl
  code/status.tcl
  code/sortopt.tcl

With this method, you will have a backup of your files and there is no danger of having your data deleted.
