fileystem level backup will be fine for disaster recovery if shit hit the fan but if a straightforward upgrade does not work, data extraction and restore in the new upgraded cluster will be required. thanks all for your input, I will be testing a 0.10 to 0.13 (with innostore) upgrade soon and let you guys know how that worked out.
