HI,
I am not clear about one thing in term of upgrading or
installing an newer version.  Is it possible to keep all
current information on the drive in an upgrade?  Or is
upgrading going to repartition the drives (basically reformatting)?

I have version 2.1.x and need to upgrade to 3.0 snapshot, what
is the best way to get there?

Thanks,
Richard
