Depending on how you installed Magento 2, the upgrade process will vary. Obviously, the best approach to upgrade is in a test environment on the same server or on a local development environment. If you feel lucky and your store does not have lots of traffic, you might want to upgrade in production, but you still should do a full backup of all your files and your database.
