I am a bit nervous going to a new version, the 5209 shows as stable on the 
BlueOnyx site. I figure the following is my protection in case something 
happens that I am unable to recover from.

1) Create a base VM image once everything is setup like I want it to be and 
store it someplace safe
2) Implement the raqbackup.sh script that I have been running for years to 
backup the sites/users/sql
3) If my VM goes toast, create a new VM, import the backup. Yes, I would 
possibly have a loss of 24 hours but I would minimize downtime in the event 
that something is totally corrupt to just a few hours.
