InfluxDB
Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
I would save the data on another data medium, install the new distribution and create a separate partition for /home and then copy the saved data back to /home. And then, for the reasons mentioned, regularly back up the data to another data medium. For backups I recommend Borg (if necessary in combination with Vorta). From the second backup onwards, the tool only saves the parts of a file that have changed. This saves time and storage space.
