Glassfish installation advice

Hello everyone,

I had glassfish 2.1 installed and also 3.0.1 and 3.1.1 installed. I am on the process of formatting my PC as I have issues with the PC. I ave backed up my files including glassfish directories, by cutting files across to another drive. I can't remember but I think there was some complaints that some files name length was too long to be copied. But then after I checked, there was no files left behind. So i assumed every was copied across.

So, what is best practice? Copy the glassfish directories back again or download and install fresh ones? I like to keep up to date with fixes and that. For the 2.1, I ave a cluster of it on another PC. I suspect I still need the 2.1 as I ave applications I ave developed with ejb and persistent one / 2, before ejb3 and persistent 3, new development. And so I ave not change the programming codes.

Any comments appreciated. Thanks
