Not just when upgrading. I have never ever had a failure upgrading Debian or Ubuntu - but I have had a hard disk failure which trashed my home directory and a lot of data.
For me, all I had to do was get another hard disk, reinstall Ubuntu, and restore a backup. Loss? Almost nothing. Backing up is important and vital at all times - not just for an upgrade. I do not have a lot of sympathy for users who never ever backup, and never enters their heads to do so. To me it is vitally important - I keep backups off site as well. -- Regards, Andy
