Upgrading overwrites server.xml, losing https configuration, every time.
Whenever I upgrade the TeamCity server (on windows) I find that the server.xml file has "lost" changes. Specifically, the https bindings configuration is missing. I'm guessing the upgrade process simply overwrites this file and my customizations are lost. My workaround is to always take a backup of this file and then compare it to the post upgrade version.
Is there a way to configure things so this doesn't happen? I'd like to be able to simply run installer .exes and be done with it.

Hi Josh,
The default upgrade procedure is to simply take a backup, replace the old folder with the new one and restart, so yes, the changes always get lost. We are working on an improved upgrade mechanism and it should take this issues into account, but as of now, you can only save your version of the file and replace it when it's upgraded.
