so I just installed ubuntu 15.10 on my Macbook 6,2 core i5 and it is running flawlessly. Now before I got it to where it is now, I had a previous install which didn't work that great. In the previous install I installed the proprietary Nvidia drivers alongside with a bunch of updates and upon reboot, I was stuck at the login screen. I tried uninstalling the Nvidia driver and going back to noveau but didn't work that great either.
So I ended up doing a clean installation again and this time I installed the Nvidia drivers first and it worked, Now I have some pending updates to make but I'm afraid that it might break my system. I spend the whole day configuring the system to my liking and I would hate to do it all over again.
Is there a way I can backup my settings, ala "Windows System Restore" style, update and if anything goes wrong, I can just go back to where I was?
