Virtual machine upgrade requires the customer to replace the entire virtual machine with a new instance. The configuration and the data are exported from the old instance and imported to the new.
Package upgrade only updates the cnMaestro software. It does not require a virtual machine reinstallation.
OVA upgrade only overwrites the OS partition.

Configuration Backup
