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.
If you haven't formatted your PC, then can you do a quick validation of
the zip archives by unzipping them in new install directories?

Backup/Restore would just work fine as long as the followings are taken
care of
-No embedded paths in Domain configuration(ex. reference to libraries
outside of GF install)
-No Windows services are created
> 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.
Java EE backward compatibilities are guaranteed.
