Whatever backup/restore tool you use, make sure it is available when
you're booted from CD. Assume no access to the HD at all. If you;ve
reached the point of backing out completely there is a good chance the
system on disk is hosed (libraries broken, whatever). Give this a dry run
before committing by blowing away the system on the disk.
