What I'd like to do is make a backup of the entire filesystem (or whatever parts are necessary) that I can use to restore the failed upgrade back to a working state.
Stop right there. Yes, you should have backups. But don't rely on those solely as your backup in case of upgrade failure. Your focus should be on building a test system and performing the upgrade there.
Yes, well that's great if you have spare matching hardware. What about the rest of us?
Document and test everything. Then proceed with your production system upgrade, referring to your documentation and, in the worst case scenario, restoring from the backups.I doubt there is any point in testing a server setup on a 200MHz P3 desktop, is there?
HTH.
