But I have to say that is not an encouraging course of action. It's also possible to install a parallel context: i.e. if you have context in /opt/context/standalone-01122012 you can install a fresh context (with first-setup.sh , I mean) in /opt/context/standalone-20122012 copy here your files and check if they fail.
