I would like to make a point here, for Alt_Disk_Install, he actually needs a empty and free disk.
You don't have to place the disk back and mirror.
Before we do Alt_Disk_Install, we actually try to break the mirror and then use that empty disk to clone the OS. It is a backup copy of the current OS
After you done you can either upgrade this or alt_disk image.
But if you want to take a backup of existing image and upgrade the binaries at the same time you use
alt_disk_clone.
Your current disk will server as backup disk (it will stay at current version even after reboot) and other empty disk you use for alt_disk_clone operation will be upgraded to the new desired OS version. In both cases you just have to change the bootlist to jump different version (ofcourse after a reboot).

NAME
biomaj - downloads and transform remote biological data banks
SYNOPSIS
biomaj [-h]
DESCRIPTION
BioMAJ (BIOlogie Mise A Jour) is a workflow engine dedicated
to data synchronization and processing.The Software automates
the update cycle and the supervision of the locally mirrored
databank repository. User must have roots rights to run biomaj.
OPTIONS
-h display the list of commands.
INSTALL
At installation, BioMAJ requires a database to run (MySQL), installer should first create a database (biomaj_log) and a database user (the
one used at installation setup).
The database configuration for biomaj can be set or modified in /etc/biomaj/db_properties/global.properties.
In the install fails due to a SQL error, the install script must be manually run to create/upgrade the database:
perl /usr/share/biomaj/sql/migration/update.pl
The script will create/upgrade the database and update the configuration files.
ADMIN USER
A default admin user (admin) is created by the scripts. If using the biomaj-watcher, the default password (admin) MUST be changed immedi-
atly via the watcher interface.
If only biomaj core is used, password is useless.
.PP
UPGRADE
In the case of a package upgrade, if properly configured, the migration scripts will be ran automatically at install.
It is possible to run manually the script:
.B See perl /usr/share/biomaj/sql/migration/update.pl -h
for usage.
DATA BANKS
By default, biomaj is configured (data.dir in global.properties) to write banks to /var/lib/biomaj.
EXAMPLES
Update a bank:
biomaj --update genbank
Show console
biomaj --update genbank --console
Show status:
biomaj --status
EXIT STATUS
biomaj returns a zero exist status if it succeeds, it does not represent the bank update status.
