Hmmm.. It sounds like an upgrade is a one time deal, with no going back. That makes me glad I have a test server. The 'side by side' install sounds interesting, but this conversation doesn't provide any detail or links explaining how to do that. If that were practical, I was thinking DSpace 7 might be installed alongside the live 6.3, and once everything was migrated properly on a Release version of 7, the 6.3 install might be retired. Is that a viable idea?
