Anyone knows what files do i need to backup and how to import them back?

I had proxmox 1.9 and upgraded to 2.1 by using the following commands.

apt-get update
apt-get upgrade

Unsure why you are unable to do that, but I followed the proxmox upgrade instructions which was basically the commands there.

I didn't have to reimport anything. But I did make sure I backed the virtual machines up.

I hope this helps

Oh and to answer your question, I just use the built in proxmox backup utility to back my virtual machines. And have a cronjob setup to upload the backups to remote FTP. I have re-imported from the FTP in the past and it was easy enough by using the built in backup/restore facility.
