Breezy

[Matthew S-H]

I wanted to upgrade to Breezy, but I wanted to do it from an exact 
duplicate of my Hoary system.
When I had upgraded to Hoary, I had backed up my system using "dd", as 
per the advice of another user on this listserv.

There were 2 problems with this idea:
A)  It only backed it up to a single file.  In theory, this did serve as 
a backup, but it did not let me boot from it.  And I had wanted to be 
able to multi-boot into both Warty and Hoary.
B)  It didn't work.  After installing Hoary, when I ran into problems, I 
tried "dd"-ing the file back to my hard drive, but it wouldn't work.  
When I tried to boot from it I got errors with init scripts and such.

Anyway, if anyone has any ideas for alternative backup methods that are 
"tried-and-true", or if anyone could point out my mistake with "dd", 
I'd appreciate it.  Thank you very much :).
