(I am not a bash guru.)
I have created a script, which archive all files used by forum (hope). I tried to upgrade to 2.2.0 from 2.0.2, but was unsuccessful. (I will try again and share the problems later, now the goal is to get it work again). After the failed upgrade I deleted the new files and copied back the old ones. The consistency check was OK.

My archiver script:

mkdir -p /tmp/archiv/var/forum
cp -va /var/forum/* /tmp/archiv/var/forum
#
mkdir -p /tmp/archiv/var/lib/mysql
cp -va /var/lib/mysql/* /tmp/archiv/var/lib/mysql
#
mkdir -p /tmp/archiv/var/www
cp -va /var/www/* /tmp/archiv/var/www
#
tar -z -cvvf /home/fogarasi/cemeno.tar.gz /tmp/archiv/
#rm -r /tmp/archiv

The MySQL and Apache serves only the FUDforum.

My question:
I have to expect some errors, or my procedure is functional?
OR Which files/directories must archive for having the posibility to quick copy it back and restart after a failed upgrade?

Thanks in advance:
Zoltan
