I think in the future on Linode, it makes sense to temporarily buy a new Linode2, "Restore" a backup from my Linode1 -> Linode2, try to upgrade Linode2 and back that up -> Restore (as above) backup from Linode2 -> Linode1, then delete the Linode2 account. Is this what other people here do?

If you decide to go that route, the last steps are unnecessary, if the upgrade on your Linode2 works, you can just delete your Linode1.

if linode1 has been running, that could end up with lost stats, data, etc.

And if he was to go by his original suggestion, do you suppose the risk for potential data loss would be any less?

sorry, yes, your plan is faster than his. I was thinking more along the lines of upgrade linode2 to test/prove it out, then upgrade linode1 once you have it all figured out.

Yes, this is probably a better way to do it.
