If i update my C5 version may loose all the work that i´ve done in my site?

I want to update my C5 version for the latest but i´m afraid that if i do, all the work that i´ve done in my site may be lost... it replaces only the system files or could there be problems with the info, images, and all other stuff that i already have on my site. I know that it could affect some block if they´re not compatible with the new version, but what about the info and files i´ve uploaded till now?
Thanks for your answer dwwedesign :)
You shouldn't do. Your pages and files should be left alone. But some upgrades do have glitches.
Take both an 'all files' and a database backup first. That way you can always get back if it goes wrong. If you don't have both backups, it could be a one way street. 99.9% of the time it will be simple and no glitches. The other 0.1% and you will be wishing you had those backups.
Swap your theme to default during the upgrade, then swap it back again once you are sure all is ok. That will make sure there are no theme issues during the actual upgrade.

Thanks a lot for your answer, i´ll follow your instructions and see how all works from there. :)
Obviously some blocks are not always compatible but most blocks are now. I have done numerous updates to my clients' website and all has been ok. There are sometimes a couple of tweeks to change.
Good luck
