2. copy alf_data

just means copying for backup purpose. You don't have to remove it during the migration. If the migration succeeds, you will not have to copy the alf_data back.

So, as you said, you have to do those three steps:

backup db

backup alf_data

run sql migration script

I also recommend to clean the web server directories before deploying the new war file. If you are using tomcat, remove these files/folders

%tomcat%\webapps\alfresco.war

%tomcat%\webapps\alfresco

%tomcat%\work\Catalina\localhost\alfresco

Maybe the %tomcat%\work\Catalina\localhost\alfresco looks different at you machine. So, delete the alfresco directory somewhere under your %tomcat\work directory.
