OpenPLi distinguishes between minor releases and major releases. A Major release is when you upgrade from version 6.X to version 7.X and a minor release is when you upgrade from 7.1 to 7.2. When you want to upgrade minor releases must be approached differently:

Major releases (so like 6 => 7) you must flash, preferably using the menu and choosing the backup option, then everything is restored after the flash. When there is no Hard disk present use an USB stick. 
Minor releases (like 6.0 => 6.2) are updates, so updating will suffice!
