Before proceeding with major upgrades, I boot with Clonezilla
(http://clonezilla.sourceforge.net/download/sourceforge/) and I create
an image of the hard disk. This image is written to an external USB hard
disk. Should anything goes funny after the upgrade, I can always revert
to the state before the upgrade...
