Subject: Re: Upgrading 1.4.2 to 2.1

Argh! I knew someone would say that :)

My backups are good; though obviously they need a big stress test for multi-TB restores.

Is it really that much better to do a wipe-and-restore? It might be trivial for some folks, but due to several silly management factors I have to pull in my backups over gigabit ethernet. 2 volumes, total data stored is about 10TB. We're talking a week or more.

5) What can go wrong that I should look out for?


1) Make sure you have backups.

2) Test your backups.

3) Consider wiping and rebuilding the SAN instead of upgrading.
