The installation guide [1] states: "Re-installation will destroy any existing user data stored in Whonix VMs, unless it is backed up first. To avoid this scenario, it is possible to upgrade Whonix 13 to 14 instead of following these instructions." This was puzzling to me, too, since TemplateVM upgrades usually don't affect user data in TemplateBasedVMs. Could you shed some light on this, Patrick?
