My first attempt was using the DVD, and it failed on the last step. Following message was displayed:

I filed a bug report 949796 and the situation has been resolved buy the openSuse team. But the first attempt removed the 13.2 system, so when I ran it again there was no reference to the 13.2 repos.
But that bugzilla (which was made last October) is about tumbleweed. I see no mention on it that you were attempting to upgrade a 13.2 system using the DVD. What you report there is "Trying to modify the bootloader setup, YaST2-Bootloader complains", and later I see mentions to «routine "zypper dup"». What is described in the bugzilla doesn't match what you say here. You say here:
But the first attempt removed the 13.2 system, so when I ran it again there was no reference to the 13.2 repos.
If 13.2 was removed on the first attempt, what you have to try is a clean install. Of course there can't be any reference to 13.2 repos. All was destroyed, you say. I'm now very confused about what you are doing and what is your real problem.
How do you generate a "safely secured / backed up"? I do have one because I make a mirror image on a bootable USB drive. Is there another way?
A mirror image is probably the best type of backup. So, you can restore the complete original system and try again the upgrade. Or install fresh, new, and restore only the data you want to restore. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)
