Backup, clean install and restore
- by Tony Martin
Due to the route I came into Ubuntu I now have 12.10 upgraded from 12.04 on an NTFS file system. I've invested a lot of time getting everything as I want it, vis packages installed and settings, etc. I wonder if there is an easy method of:
1 Backing up the whole system so that I can;
2 Do a squeaky clean install of 12.10 on ext4 with bells and whistles then;
3 Restore my backup so that my system behaves as it did before the reinstall?
Sorry if this seems terribly obvious, but I don't want to find all the problems when it's too late.
TIA.
