It's not a bad thing, but an upgrade_export is better... the upgrade_export will tgz the file for you and it is only one file. This binary file is found in $FWDIR/bin/upgrade_tools.

I would run an upgrade_export now, just so you can get back to at least this point is your restore doesn't work out properly. Then, I would rename the $FWDIR and $CPDIR directories (The actual name of the last folder in the path, not the variable), then restore the ones that you have from backup from before you experience the problem.

Let us know how that works out.
