[NTLUG:Discuss] Backing up an FC6 desktop?

[terry]

If this is a Desktop PC and you are wanting to do an upgrade and you
have /home on a separate partition, just leave that partition
un-formatted and do fresh FC9 install.  If you don't have /home on a
separate drive or partition, copy it to one.

In the case of just adding another drive:
  fdisk /dev/hdb
     (make a linux partition)
(If the new partition is /dev/hdb1):
  mkfs.ext3 /dev/hdb1
  reboot
  mkdir /mnt/hdb1
  mount /dev/hdb1 /mnt/hdb1
  cp -a /home /mnt/hdb1
or
  cp -a /home/user /mnt/hdb1
