Backing up Geoserver's data-directory, doing a clean install, and putting the directory back (or re-creating the symbolic link if that's how you're doing it) should be enough. Personally, I typically create an image (snapshot) of the entire disk before I do upgrades of any kind, but I've never actually needed that as a fallback, so I'd only recommend it if you're feeling especially paranoid and it isn't too much effort for you. - Patrick O'Toole Application Developer Wyoming Natural Diversity Database UW Berry Biodiversity Conservation Center Department 3381, 1000 E.
