Thanks for posting back. Indeed a backup should always be done. However, a bugfix upgrade like the one you did should be seamless normally. I’m not sure what happened but it looks like some operator mistake from what you say. In any case, if you see anything we could do at the XWiki level to help, let us know.
On the first run of the distribution wizard it did not recognize the original XWiki version and provided me with a menu to select the version from. I guess this was the case because I had the .../jobs/status/distribution/status.xml file removed (as recommended in http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Features/DistributionWizard#HThewiz...)
No, it's usually because you removed all extensions located in permanent directory (extension/repository/ folder). Looks like you cleaned too much stuff. The repair message is not about missing status but about a database with a lot of documents and not a single extension registered.
So I selected 7.4.1 from the menu, but then got stuck with the "This version is not compatible with your installation" error.
There is no such "blocker" error AFAIK. It does indicate you that this version is invalid (because this version require WAR version 7.4.1) but it's not supposed to block you in any way, you should have an upgrade button.
On the second run, I had everything restored from backup, including the status.xml file. This time, the DW did *not* ask me for the old version, but went straight to the upgrade process.
I don't know if this explanation makes sense, but if it does the DW could be made more robust when detecting the XWiki version to upgrade from, especially as removing the status.xml file is mentioned in the DW troubleshooting section.
