Well... I have 8GBs of RAM... But the point is: how is the best way to do this migration? How backup data?

I usually make a full backup of /etc - not to restore, but to be able to check/compare any old settings I might want to duplicate after the re-install. If you aren't running database, web, or mail servers, 'your' data should all be under /home, so save that, re-install, and put it back. If you have plenty of storage space, you could use either the 'rear' package or clonezilla-live to make an image copy that would restore your system to its current state in the unlikely event that you want that.
