+1 Reinstall and copy is what I do too. Basically I make up to date
backup copies of anything I use that might not be in my home directory
(websites from var/www/html and databases) and save those to my home
directory. Then I can reinstall them easily after I've reinstalled the
operating system and my home directory.
Thanks to all for your help!
