Hi,

I did get some answers on what to do. I will preface that before saving off the 
HDF5 and dumping the databases, LDM/EDEX will need to be shutdown. So during 
the time of the "backup" (which I don't know how long will take, but probably a 
few hours since it's 10 days of data), removal of data_store, removal of AWIPS, 
and re-install of EDEX there will be missing data for that time.

I will also say, I am out the next two days and Shay is out a few days next 
week, but we do want to make sure you are updated prior to 10 days before 
classes start.



Thanks,
