Hi,

having the following question: sometimes it happens that after an
upgrade of a Fedora-x to a Fedora-y, the Fedora-y does not run correctly
(there may be a lot of reasons for this...). So going back to a running
system, but how to achieve this?

So my question (or proposal): it would be very helpful if an upgrade
could be done to a new partition (including copying all imporant files
from the Fedora to be updated). This would save oneself a lot of backups
and restores.

Is the current anaconda able to fulfill such things?

Kind regards

What important files?

If you got the drive space just do the install to the new partition(s) and copy your "important" data from the old distro to the new. You get the benefit of being able to boot the older distro if the new one has problems..
