Title:
  Recommend backing up before upgrades

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  This is a feature request / suggestion

  Please consider adding a warning with upgrading to a new distro,
  upgrades can fail for any number of reasons and debugging a failed
  upgrade can be difficult to impossible.

  Users should be advise to back up their data and be prepared to
  perform a fresh install / restore from backup in the event of failure.

  Even better, offer to make a backup of /home prior to the upgrade.
