And you certainly SHOULD BACKUP ALL DATA before reinstalling, unless
the data is on a different disk than you're installing to, I suppose,
but in that case, I assume that you don't need to backup when
upgrading, either. (Of course, you should always be backing up
everything you care about, whatever you're doing.)
