Hello Ubuntu Community,
I am new to Ubuntu and using Ubuntu Server ( Command Line ) for LAMP Development. I am using Ubuntu Server 12.04 LTS on VM at local network.
I am used to check updates and upgrades most of time. I have few question.
I am sure that linux is very flexible and reliable in upgrades but just for good practice:
1. Should we backup something before some "upgrade" is available in case of Package Upgrades or Distro Upgrades? Detailed guidance shall be quiet useful for a learner like me.
I am concerned because I don't want to lose my data or settings during any upgrade.
