Backups are you friend...

I've got F11 on my eeepc 901 with a 4 gig SSD and a 16 gig SSD all munged
together as a single LVM. I plan to boot a live image and use dd to backup
the two "drives" to network storage before doing the f11==>f12 upgrade,
so if it goes bad, I can blast the F11 image back onto the sytstem with
dd and be right back where I started.
