Two things: first, when you do your fresh install, put /home onto its own partition. That way, there's less chance that you'll need that backup after your next upgrade or clean install. (Please note that even though I do that, I never upgrade or install without a backup, Just In Case.)
Standard advice, doubtless as good as it is standard; but I've yet to understand how to do it, alas!
man fstab
* simply create a prtition * mount it at /home * you are done
if a existing /home is there, well, mount the new partition to whatever, move all contents of /home after logout from the graphical desktop there
unount the temporary mount of the new partition an dmount it to the now empty /home, this is really easy to do
