Okay, I believe I was successful in testing the dumping and restoring of the 
database. Because of the time it takes to dump and restore the database, you 
will be without data for maybe a couple hours, but there's no way to get around 
that.

I've created instructions that should be shared with you:

Note - you don't have to do the step that usually takes you a while (removing 
what's in /hdf5) since we actually want that data, but the dumping and 
restoring did take about 30 min to dump and at least 50 minutes to restore 
(still waiting on this) - but I was able to load data in CAVE!

Note 2 - The backup of databases and hdf5 is only on your main EDEX machine 
(not the ancillary ones)

Note 3 - I've put a link to your normal install instructions in that link

Good luck. 
Thanks,
