Hi, sorry for the silly question, but Minecraft 1.17 has just been released, and as someone new to server management (none of our community members have tried it before and the responsibility fell on me) I'm not sure what will happen if we update our Fabric server. Will our progress including builds and items be lost? I've googled it but I'm still not certain enough to risk it. Thanks for your time!

You shouldn't loose anything unless you use a modded software. We always ask for your confirmation before we delete anything.
Always make sure you have backups before you update: https://support.aternos.org/hc…ing-and-restoring-backupsAlso:
You can do the following to keep your world:
- Stop your server
- Download the world on the worlds page: https://support.aternos.org/hc…35711-Download-your-world
- Switch the software
- Upload the world again: https://support.aternos.org/hc…0027235751-Upload-a-worldPlease note that we have an upload limit, which is explained in the guide for the upload. If your world is larger than this limit you can't upload the world again.
Also understand that doing this procedure is not recommended and that we can not provide any further support about it. Worlds which were used on a modded server can cause issues if you use it on a server with another software. This is also the reason why our system want's you to reinstall the server. -
It should. But make a backup before changing anything.
