Hi,
I would like to upgrade my server which runs OpenSuSE 10.3 to the latest version. I wanted to know is it possible to have a backup of all users, passwords and all home directories, so when I install new OS, just simply transfer all data of users to the new system?
I know it' s probably not the "right" advise to give, but I had an old machine still running openSUSE 10.3 in a datacenter on the other side of the country. Finally we are going to pull it down and replace with another machine with a newer OS, but I tried an in-place upgrade from 10.3 to 11.0, 11.0 to 11.1 and finally 11.1 to 11.2. It turns out everything worked great with the upgrade and no need to ship servers around the country. I was afraid it would not work well since I had openSUSE 10.3 and many stuff from e.g. Packman installed which I have seen caused conflicts on other systems. Even software that I had manually compiled on openSUSE 10.3 works fine in 11.2. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
