Event List / Backup past events / then restore backup on new version of plugin

This concerns the plugin “Event List” by mibuthu.
I updated to the new Event List plugin and lost all my old data!! All the old events from my band’s calendar are gone. Yikes!!!I am in the process of reinstalling my website in order to recover this lost data. Once Hostgator does the restore, I will have my old version of “Event List” by mibithu with all my old data.
But I will still need to update this plugin to the current version!!
So here are my three questions:
1.) How do I backup all my old events before installing the new version of Event List?
2.) And how do I restore these old events (which I frequently re-use) once I have installed the new version?
3.) Or is there a better way to update to the lastest version of the plugin where it doesn’t delete all my old data?Desired outcome — I need to end up with the LATEST version of the Event List plugin, AND also have ALL of my old event data still intact and available. Can you help me?

Since version 0.8.0 the events are stored in a different database table.
If the update to migrate the events to the new table fails you will not see the events anymore.
But the events are still available in the old table, so if you downgrade the plugin the events should be available again.If the update fails and you have no events anymore, can you please check/provide the following:
- Is the file wp-content/event-list_upgrade.log available? If yes, please provide the content.
- Can you provide a backup of the database table ‘wp_event_list’ for testing?
