Restoring backups and effect on GRUB

[Kevin O'Gorman]

Thanks, for the ideas.  I'm still considering options.

I back up the OS because of the large number of additional packages I've
installed.  I don't always remember which ones, but it could be awkward to
discover one wasn't restored....

I do fresh installs instead of dist-upgrades, though, so it doesn't stay
too stale...
