Hi Pranith,

I want to use the tool in case of disaster.
If somehow we cannot start gluster or some problem happened during upgrade and
we cannot roll back or continue I don't want to loose my files.
I prefer the tool connects to machines and reconstruct the files to
some other path...
It would be great if you write such a tool.

Thanks,
Serkan
