My mileage has been a bit longer:
mine is even different :-)
I noticed that most of the time I accumulate libraries from
tested software and my disk grow... making a full backup is
extremely long and I have no support big enough to make it
really reliable (last time, with mondo/mindi, 15 cd's...)
so:
* I keep always my data in a separate partition. I can
change this one by simply copying the data to/from an usb
drive (not really a system backup)
* so I simply reinstall the last distribution with the new
parameters (new install, never update)
and the datas are already there
It's also a good moment to upgrade the harware :-)
so you may see I _never_ backup the system. reinstall is
always much faster than restoring, including the necessary
customisation steps (given these one are correctly documented).
When I can (quite always), I install the new system on a new
partition and I keep the old one as long as I can, just to
have at hand the various configuration text files that are
sometimes difficult to do again
