Question about upgrading

[amaresu]

My dearly beloved Ubuntu 9.02 will no longer be supported in 2 days. I've never upgraded before and have been putting it off until I had to upgrade. That time has apparently come. My question is essentially how do I do that?

Do I just hit the upgrade button on the Update Manager? Do I need to back up everything I haven't gotten around to backing up yet? Am I in danger of losing everything? How does this work?


Thank you!

I upgraded from 9.something to 10.whatever not too long ago and it was a breeze. Some tweaking afterwards to get everything back the way I like it, but no real problems.

zvi is right, of course: Backing Up Your Data Is Smart. But I had no mishaps.

Thank you, that's good to know.
