When doing the restore using the restore.sh script, do I untar my backup
from the backup.sh script and point to the untarred files for the
<BACKUP_DIR> part? What must I do with the .tar.bz2 backup file I created in
order to restore using the restore.sh script? Finally, with the final
parameter [Config.pm] do I have to point to where the backup Config.pm is
located or just type in Config.pm?

restore.sh <OTRS_BIN_DIR> <OTRS_CONFIG_DIR> <BACKUP_DIR> [Config.pm]

thanks
marshall

Yes.

backup.sh doesn't contain contents of  var/*.  Make sure you keep a
copy of it (cron jobs, ticket count indicator - especially ticket
count indicator)

Apache no.  MySQL yes.  There is a mysql upgrade script that adds some
tables and changes other things in the db.  It won't harm the existing
data.  Once you upgrade the database, you don't want to do a restore
from old backups because that will reverse all the changes.  Read the
UPGRADING doc.  It explains exactly what needs to be done. :-)
