Please explain how you would save and dump these file systems. Like
where they would be saved.
If your system was set up so that /home and /stuff were on separate
partitions, you could tell the Fedora installer not to touch those
partitions.
You should save a copy of /etc because there is a lot of setup
information there that you will want to refer back to after a fresh
installation.
