Hello, I've currently got 7.10 installed and it's pretty much how I like it except for one really exasperating issue. Occasionally the machine goes to sleep and no amount of anything will wake it up! My only recourse has been to hold in the power button to restart.

I'm hoping perhaps the upgrade to 8.04 will take care of this and I've held off so far because I see many people having many issues AFTER the upgrade. So, the question is if I make a complete backup of current 7.10 and upgrade and it fails will a restore from the upgrade place my system back into it's previous state? Or, would I have to format the drive and reinstall from the 7.10 CD and THEN restore from the backup???

Any ideas or feedback on this?

TIA,
Barrie
