[App_rpt-users] in place upgrade of ACID installs 1- 1.5 years old?

[Jim Duuuude]

Dude, if all you're worried about is the necessity of re-tuning/calibration,
just save the stuff in /etc/asterisk (particularly the xxx_tune_yyy.conf files)
and the usbradio/simpleusb.conf file from the old install. Then you will
have all the site-specific hardware-related configurations that can be copied
onto the new install.

You can always load ACID onto new drives at home, "stage" it on a system
there at home to verify its functionality, then take the drive up to the remote
location and install it.
