I have seen a post about someone who succesfully updated to testing,
It was something about enabling the testing repo and disable the stable repo, then do an "apt-get update" and "apt-get upgrade". You might search this thread first as I was always on testing so I don't speak from experience...

If you have extras-devel enabled I would stay away of from running apt-get upgrade

From a technical point of view, backupmenu is used for months, and can be considered rock-stable. No matter is user is doing backups or not, it allows USB networking and SSH access, which allow to fix most problems, from noob-grade mistakes, to developers experiments.
Also, RobbieThe1st has lately become active and (slowly) working on it again, so it's not "abandoned" code. The only problem I can see so far, is making it compatible, no matter is one is using multiboot, or not (up to date, two exclusive versions exist - upstream "no backupmenu", and slightly modified one, that loads from BM). I'm pretty sure, that this can be solved by less or more ugly dependency checking, or something like that.
---
Most important thing - what CSSU devs and trusted testers/users think about it?
/Estel
Besides that, isn't it possible to port backupmenu's functions easily to a shell script and then run it from Pali's recovery console(framebuffer). That's the way I would like to see it. However I won't complain or whine about it, as I lack the proper skills to do it myself. I don't think it's fair to demand everything while I can't offer much in return...

Considering, that there is backupmenu version working from multiboot, and multiboot can be loaded from U-Boot...
Remember, that backupmenu loaded from multiboot *doesn't* write anything, so no NAND wear using this approach. Well, AFAIK (don't quote me on that, though), multiboot loaded from U-Boot also doesn't write anything to NAND - only operates in memory.
/Estel
// Edit
As for re-implementing backupmenu in proper scripting, as we have framebuffer output now - I'm all for it, yet, I have no idea who would sit and do work
As with backupmenu in it's current (or, requiring only small modification), we already have working and rock-stable version.
I would also love to hear what most active CSSU devs thing about it (of course it doesn't mean, that other people should stop writing).
