    └── 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.AspNetCore.zip to logBee.Backend folder.

    Choose not to override the existing files (keep the local files).
