I'm still a little confused as to why so many users seem to feel the need to backup and restore their personal data just to upgrade their operating system in place. Backing up of course is a prudent safety measure, but if the upgrade goes smoothly there should be no need to restore the backup. Are there actually distro installers that don't allow you to upgrade without nuking your home directory, or do some installers not make that option clear enough, or am I just misunderstanding the problem? There does seem to be a large concentration of Ubuntu users reporting these kinds of problems, but that might just be a statistical anomaly rather than something Ubuntu is doing wrong.
