perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[Andrew Lake <>]

Hi Row,

The scripts Christoph shared should do what you want I believe. The backup 
script just grabs important config files, like the test definitions and 
creates a tarball. The restore script pulls out those files and puts them 
back in place. It should work going from CentOS5 -> CentOS 6 or when going 
from CentOS6 -> CentOS6. They were written with both cases in mind, though 
admittedly I haven't tried the latter case in awhile. In theory it should 
still work.

Thanks,
Andy
