The difference here is getting up and running (or limping) the fastest method possible. It's not so much the latest install, or having a good backup, How do you "restore" a latest version, and still keep all your old user accounts, network settings, system settings (/etc)? I tried doing an upgrade, but they keep hanging, which makes me thing I have some big time corruption in the boot area (don't really think it was hacked), it was a year and half the last time we rebooted. Once we are back up, then we can plan and setup a latest greatest when we have time to not be out of business. In our case, time IS money. Right now, all I need is a hack job to get running for a couple weeks.
