Re: upgrade to jessie, what to backup

Grub failed on the 2 upgrades I have done so far. I'm way behind in getting to it and both times I was in such a rush I just let 'er fly. Bad idea. I ended up having to boot from grml and re-install grub. There was probably some kind of warning during the upgrade itself but I must have missed it.

The only other bad thing was that going from wheezy to jessie on our web server upgraded us from apache2.2 to apache2.4 and apache wouldn't restart. I had to fix several things in the config files. If I had it to do over again, i'd probably do apache2 and grup2 first, and then do the dist-upgrade.

Backing up to a usb external hard drive, I've done everything under /home
and /etc.
Is there anything else I should backup? or other things to be aware of
before or during the upgrade?
Thanks
