  m) should be corrected regarding following points :
  
  - VOBs (and optionally views). this is wrong unless you are plan
  ning to recreate the views
  
  - ccase-home-dir/config/* : Save all directories.
  They contain Rational ClearCase Remote Client configuration file
  s;
  MultiSite shipping parameters, database configuration and more.
  
  This is not enough : Some important files are located in ccase-h
  ome-dir/ccweb
  
  - ccase-home-dir/services/albd.conf
  
  This file does not exist in this location on RHEL5, it's in ccas
  e-home-dir/config/
  
  - Variable ccrcViewStorage does not only contain temporary data.
