I broke Proxmox. What should I copy before wiping the server?

Hi all,

It would seem I have broken proxmox while trying to update from 3.4 to 4.2. I have tried rebooting the server, and now it won't come online. I can copy stuff off the drives, but I'm not sure what to copy. What should I get off the server, and where will I put it after wiping it?

The worst part is this server ran everything - Web, Email(Yes, I should have done a backup. I'm stupid)

can you post your /etc/pve/storage.cfg file?

does the system boot ?

does the system have network access?

I ended up copying the disk images off, but nothing else. Thanks though.

afaik all you need is in

"/etc" (e.g. /etc/pve/*)
"/var/lib/pve-cluster/"
"/root/.ssh"

don't nail me on this being everything tho

it will help to get the .conf files from /etc/pve/*/*.conf
