Have you considered uploading your data to an online storage area, there 
are some free ones around.

Remember to tarball and compress all of your data before you upload it.

Then upgrade your system, then download your data again.


Another sugestion :

Add an extra hard drive to you system, partition it and backup all of 
your data to this hardrive - then remove the hard drive and upgrade your 
system.

How much data do you need to backup ???

If you haven't got a spare hard drive - let me know how much space you 
will need - I could probably lend you a spare drive to help you out.
