.
then you should give some thought to creating a partition for /home.

such gives you ability to mount the partition as /home and not have
to worry about losing, backing up /home.

that is, you should keep /home backed up, but with it as it's own
partition, you do not have to restore /home into a new install.

like that better? :-)
