Karsten's point was that if your data is worth something to you, then
paying some amount of money to keep it safe is a wise investment.

certain places is good. Backing everything up, repartitioning, and
restoring is a time-honored technique.

AFAIK, partition magic has done that for some time, and parted is
supposed to do it now.
