[ubuntu-us-mn] ** Saturday ** Install Fest !!!

[Colin Harrington]

I'm planning on upgrading to 10.10 (from 10.04) because after doing some
research it has better support for multi-touch, and it looks like the
hardware is better supported in newer releases.

Is there a decent way to backup my entire ext4 partition so that I can
restore if I needed to?
