You don't really have to do anything except make your hooks and conf
directories look the same as the source did. You probably want to
back up everything there separately, since they aren't duplicated in
the sync. The uuid is somewhat problematic in a restore/replacement,
though. If you keep the old one you will break checked-out workspaces
that have newer revs than your restored backup. If you use a
different uuid, none of the old workpaces will work.
