Hi Wolfgang,

forget what Jean-Sebastian said if you do not have the exactly same configuration on source and target (see docs why)

If you are fine with just Nathans tipp, take care of the issue with the .layout file below.

If you need more:

Take a look at
https://plone.org/documentation/manual/upgrade-guide/

subpages
https://plone.org/documentation/manual/upgrade-guide/minor-version-upgrades
https://plone.org/documentation/manual/upgrade-guide/version/upgrading-plone-4.0-to-4.1
https://plone.org/documentation/manual/upgrade-guide/version/plone_4_2_upgrade_notes
https://plone.org/documentation/manual/upgrade-guide/version/upgrading-plone-4.2-to-4.3

Make sure you do not forget to upgrade possibloe add-ons and make sure they work in 4.3 before Migration!

If you fail, you can use different strategies.

Important:
* Use a duplicate "staging" Plone 4.3 install of the instance to do the actual migration.
* Finally copy over the final result to your production instance.
* Make a snapshotbackup before you start (using the collective.recipe.backup package)
* Follow the documentation to upgrade above (read twice!)
* Better than your idea: Change the Plone version in the old buildout (the staging copy!) and rerun buildout to upgrade Plone

* Tipp: Copy over the var/filestorage/Data.fs file and the whole var/blobstorage directory including the invisible .layout file (Important! if you just use the cp command it may not copy/overwrite an old .layout file and you are in trouble!)

* You need to run the upgrade steps as described in the docs!
* Try first a "Dry-run"
* If you have trouble:
	* Write back the backup and restart until you are fine!
