upgrade to jessie, what to backup

[John G Heim]

Grub failed on the 2 upgrades I have done so far. I'm way behind in 
getting to it and both times I was in such a rush I just let 'er fly. 
Bad idea. I ended up having to boot from grml and re-install grub. There 
was probably some kind of warning during the upgrade itself but I must 
have missed it.

The only other bad thing was that going from wheezy to jessie on our web 
server upgraded us from apache2.2 to apache2.4 and apache wouldn't 
restart. I had to fix several things in the config files. If I had it to 
do over again, i'd probably do apache2 and grup2 first, and then do the 
dist-upgrade.
