[Archivesspace_Users_Group] upgrading to new release

[Andrew Morrison]

The ./data/shared/job_files/ folder contains copies of every original 
source file that has ever been imported. The links to download those 
files from job pages the staff interface will be broken unless you copy 
them over from the old ArchivesSpace instance to the new one. And there 
are log files for all types of jobs containing details not held in the 
database. Not essential, but it is worth considering whether you want to 
retain that historical record for future reference.


Andrew.
