RE: upgrading to 7.3

[Engstrom_Carl emc com]

I would make sure to backup your important data before doing the upgrade.
Either send it to tape, send it to another machine, or put it on a different
physical drive and partition from the rest of your OS.

Call me over cautious, but I can't tell you how many times I've fried my
home directories and the like before I started seperating user data from OS
data.  Now days, I usually don't upgrade, but rather, format and Install
fresh...that's the voodoo I use at least.

Hi everyone,

I want to set myself a little weekend project and upgrade from 7.2 to
7.3 and as I've found nothing on the redhat site about this thought to
ask for a little advice.

I've not done an upgrade before and I have tons of stuff on my machine
that I don't want to lose. So my question is, if I upgrade, am I likely
to lose any information?

I have a few virtual domains and of course loads of stuff in my /home
dir that I need as well as some custom installs like Mutt and Mozilla
and so forth. 

Can anyone offer any advice?

Many thanks...
