In the release notes they mention: "A special backup is made when you install this new version. This is just in case something goes sideways with the upgrade process, since there are major transformations being applied with this release. The file will be found in the “My Documents\Realm Works” folder if you need it."

I am guessing that they had to force the upgrade as the prior realm content formatting would not work. Everything has been converted to HTML. The changes on the back end may have been needed not only for allowing some of the new features but also needed by the Web view and content market. Just speculation, but if that is the case they are not likely able to support the older backend and the newer and had to force everyone to upgrade to move forward.

I'm lucky in that the upgrade went smoothly for me. (Hope I'm not jinxing myself by saying that.) But at least it seams that there should be a full backup of your realms.
