Thanks David - I do have my home directories all comfortably backed-up
to a raid device on my local server - I stopped taking stuff off-site a
year or so ago. However, it's still a right royal pita when both the
live CD and full install DVD are broken, see commentary from here:
https://github.com/calamares/calamares/issues/1564#issuecomment-898246354

I do find it puzzling that there's not straight forward way of doing
LVM-on-LUKS.
