Hi,

Do a level 0 dump before the upgrade. Do a level one immediately
after. The only thing in the level one dump will be the bind
changes. That will tell you what files in which places to
restore. You can interactively look at the dump set..If you
have a lot of spare space you may be able to dump and restore
to a partition which means a rollback to the prior release
would take a minute or two.
