Hi Jim, Being an end user myself, when I first got into Fedora I was losing data constantly from upgrades, as I assume is common for every new user. It was very tough to realise that I just wiped out all of the data. A positive that I took from the experience is that it taught me to always backup; now that we are upgrading every 6 months I just save everything on an external drive - nothing on the hard drive except the essentials that need to be on the computer. Hope this helps; I really wish there was something that could be done. Regards, Richard
