I do it the other way round, I put on hold what I didn't want to 
upgrade, and upgrade the rest.
I never do a backup, and in the last 10 Years I didn't ever need one. ;-)
I usually do apt-get update && apt-get -u dist-upgrade  and read the 
output, that gives me enough information if I need to put packages on 
hold, or if I could safely just run the full upgrade.
If a package is broken after upgrade, I just downgrade it to the one 
from testing.
