</div>At this point I don't really have an upgrade path for beta and alpha<br>
releases, since so much is still in flux. When we start releasing newer<br>
versions than 7 though, you will be able to upgrade those, via online<br>
update. However, if you want to save your data, here's what I would do:<br>
<br>
(As root)<br>
<br>
# cd /<br>
# tar cvjf backup.tbz /root /usr/home<br>
(save backup.tbz somewhere remote)<br>
<br>
Then, after installing, just restore in the same way:<br>
<br>
(pull back backup.tbz from remote)<br>
# cd /<br>
# tar xvpjf backup.tbz<br>
