If you have really important data like that, then you might want

Are you saying that every "stable" release of Fedora is actually on
classed as a "beta test" release?
If this is so, then why call it a "stable" release? I run FC on many
production servers and have found them to be very reliable.
Where have you ever seen me refer to an FCx release as stable?
As I have used the terms for decades:
alpha test test done by development engineers
beta test test done by customers
Since all FC releases are intended for test by customers (see
the website) they are all beta test releases.
I am not an FC developer.

I didn't mean you refer to them as stable, I mean't the Fedora project.
They usually issue 2 or 3 test releases then a release that they
consider stable, but people keep saying they are not stable enough and
are too bleeding-edge. So why do people use it on servers then?
Sorry to go off the subject of this thread, but this keep baffling me as
a newcomer to Linux.
