Dear Ruben,

you can use the upgrade wizard to upgrade your system to 6.2.1 or 6.2.2
Of course you should do a database dump before, just to be prepared if something goes wrong, but for me it worked well.


If you really want to export and import your data, you can use the "export database" function (it's in the Administration view under "database tools").
This function should export user data. I don't think that different MAC addresses of your computers will cause trouble with this. Where do you have this information from?
What is not exported with this function are web users. If you use web users, then I don't know how you would export and import them. 


Hope that helps
Christian
