[OM] Aperture 3.1 library upgrade issues - Make Backups

[SwissPace]

HI All,

Make sure you have a good backup or two or your apertrure3 library 
before upgrading to 3.1.

I upgraded my library to aperture 3.1 fine or so I though and then added 
a weeks worth of photo's. All fine or so I thought, then when I started 
it a few days later it wanted to migrate/upgrade  again but failed on 
step 7 saying it can't read the database. I had to reinstall aperture 3 
(so copy old  aperture application before installing update) and then 
hold the command and alt keys to get to the rebuild library option. I 
then deleted the new photo's I had added and redid the upgrade. This 
time it looks better and the copy (I use rsyncx) also works on the 
backup machine and external drive.

There are some reports on the apple forums with people finding differing 
ways to solve it. I tried but found I had to do the above to get it to 
work otherwise the rebuild of database just hangs.

SO make sure you take a backup before upgrading, if you use time machine 
then you should have on anyway.
