If for some reason, the backup directory was not writeable (e.g. it was a normal file rather than a directory, or the permissions were wrong) would the upgrade process have aborted?
But in any case, I really can't stress enough how important it is to back up your important files regularly. Of course, everyone knows this, but we often don't _do_ it until we've been burned at least once. In my case, it was the irretrievable loss of many photos and almost all videos of our daughter's first 6 months or so of life. We can't go back in time and make those videos again... Given how cheap and fast a 1TB (or bigger) external drive is now, and the existence of decent incremental backup software, it's even worth just plugging it in once a week or so to have a reasonable safeguard against losing everything (even stuff you "have" on the cloud - you never know).
