If it can be of any help, my regular procedure if I need a backup when doing a major
upgrade (or a reinstallation) is to use ClonezillaLive
(http://clonezilla.org/clonezilla-live.php). Basically you can create a
clone of your hard disk, then you are safe to upgrade, reinstall,
whatever, and you always have the clone that will restore your hard disk
to exactly the same state it had before cloning it. A wonderful
time-saver, and really ease to use. 

I actually create clones of my work PCs this way, creating a new clone
every month or so, apart from regular daily incremental backups of data,
so that if updates of software start messing up my computer I can always
go back to a previous state, and then replace the data (work documents,
etc.) with the daily incremental backups.

Cheers,
