Reverting from QT 7.3 to 7.1.6/ Backup and Restore

Question

Hello,
I need to downgrade from QT 7.3 to a lower version. I understand that I need to Backup and Re-install the OSX to do this. I'm just a little apprehensive because I've never done it before. Can anyone run me through what exactly I need to do to accomplish this. Do I need to Backup EVERYTHING, or just some of the applications? How do I perform the Reinstall, etc...?
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Justin

Yes.  After talking to Cisco. I was told that they have seen in the past that the transfer of the backup file to the FTP server can corrupt the file, therefore it is recommended to perform an md5 check sum to the file, transfer from VM/PI2.1 to VM/PI2.2 and perform a checksum again to validate that the checksum size has not change.  This worked for us.
Once you have the backup, check the md5 checksum and transfer to new PI2.2.
create a backup on PI 2.1 locally.
1-Create a remote repository (Local repository)
2-Verify it by issuing the command
PIServer/admin# show repository repositoryName
where repositoryName is the repository on which you want to store the backup.
3- Back up the application:
PIServer/admin# backup filename repository repositoryName application NCS
1.To ftp the file off the old server:
admin# root:<password>
ade# cd /localdisk/defaultRepo
ade#  md5sum <backup>
ade# ftp <ip add> (PI2.2)
user:
password:
ftp>bin
ftp>mput <backup>
ftp>bye
