BTW, what method did you use to upgrade? Was it something similar to what was described in that link? I also didn't answer your question it seems... There is a 10 gig (roughly IIRC) root partition which I expect can be backed up in the way you suggest. I'd still like to hear people's experiences with the various upgrade methods though :-)

Is the 300Gb on a separate partition?  If so, then you should be able to
just backup the root drive.  PLEASE NOTE - I am basing this solely off
of my experience installing FC4 over FC1.  My LVM partition information
was preserved, so all I had to do was remount those drives and all of my
data was still there.
