Ok.  From the FAQ and the archive it says that only the ~vpopmail/bin/* files will be 
over-written during upgrade, not the ~vpopmail/domains or ~vpopmail/users directory.  
But how about ~vpopmail/include and ~vpopmail/lib?  When making a backup, I'd have to 
make a copy of bin, include, and lib directories, right?  And when something goes 
wrong in the upgrade, I can just put the files right back in?
