I am using umbraco 7.4.1 on my localhost as well as server.
I have made some changes on my local host added some pages ,doctypes etc.
Do I need to take the backup of the database or should I just paste the dlls and views etc on the server and umbraco will take care of the db by its own?
you have to be carefull when copying the database because then you will remove all the changes made on the server.
You have some possibilities in order to update content from your development stage ( localhost ) to your deployment stage ( server ).
You can make a package from within the developer section of the content, doctypes, templates, macros, ... on your localhost and install these on the server. Then using package actions you can perform some tasks on the server during installation of these updates: https://our.umbraco.org/Documentation/Reference/Packaging/
Use 3th party tools like uSync to do this task for you.
Although, I am still little confused as I am very new to Umbraco.
As I have made some changes using the source code so if I place the views or other files like XSLT files in the server will it not update the database tables with correct data.
If not, then can you give me a link to a post where it is showed how to create packages and how to uninstall on the server or how to use that third-party tool.
How to update changes from localhost to server
Hi,

Hope this helps.

Thank you, That helped
No problem, glad I could help!
Hi, Usync updated template and doc type but it didn't update the content nodes can you plzz help me with that?
uSync is only for templates and doc types, there is a Content Edition here https://our.umbraco.org/projects/developer-tools/usynccontentedition/ but don't know it its still working.
Maybe you can ask Kevin about this package status here https://our.umbraco.org/projects/developer-tools/usynccontentedition/usynccontentedition/
