[newbie] Prepare for 9.2 - partitions & backups

[Margot]

I know that I should backup /home before installing 9.2, but what is the 
best way to do this?

I have a CD-RW drive, but have never used it except as CD-Rom! Would it 
be best to do backups on CD-R or CD-RW?

Alternatively, I have some private web space - can I just FTP a copy of 
/home temporarily into cyberspace and grab it back if disaster strikes?

I was told a while ago that my /home partition was too small. I assume 
this can be fixed when I install 9.2, but will the process of enlarging 
the /home partition destroy the contents?
