Good info.  The instruction provides a way to backup those admserv files and
the PHP4 lib.  I might give this a whirl on my test machine.  BTW, instead of
"cp -R" try any of the below: (it'll preserve file permission, date, links,
etc. versus "cp -R").

# tar cf - directory1 | (cd /directory2; tar xvf -)
or
# tar cf - directory1 | (cd /directory2 && tar xvf -)
or
# rsync -av /old/dir1 /new/dir2
(no trailing / for dir in rsync ie. /old/dir1/ or /new/dir2/ not recommended)
