    └── logbee.Backend\
    

Copy new files

  1. Delete from the logbee.Backend folder everything but:

    \logbee.Backend
    ├── Configuration\
    ├── appsettings.json
    └── web.config
    
  2. Delete from the logbee.Frontend folder everything but:

    \logbee.Frontend
    ├── Configuration\
    ├── appsettings.json
    └── web.config
    
  3. Extract the contents of logbee.Backend-{version}-win-x64.zip to logbee.Backend folder.
