-o backup
-b /tmp/nifi_bak
-c /usr/nifi_old
-v

# install NiFi using compressed tar file into /usr/nifi directory (should install as /usr/nifi/nifi-1.3.0).
# migrate existing configurations with location determined by external bootstrap.conf and move over repositories from nifi_old
# options -t and -c should both be provided if migration of configurations, state and repositories are required
./file-manager.sh
-o install
-i nifi-1.3.0.tar.gz

# default directory under the rollback path (e.g. /usr/nifi_old/conf)
