I have an external hard disk that I'm going to use to keep a copy of my old

files and contents and preserve them?
Perhaps I am being paranoid, is there anyway you can transfer the data onto say a dvd before you go ahead? I have been bitten in the past! Do double check what YAST reports about the partitions.
