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.
I made an error. My bug was 963247, which the "team?" decided was a duplicate of 949796. I do not understand the wwn mapping, so cannot dispute the claim. I just thought that the install should not fail, and wanted to report it. I am trying to run Leap 42.1 on a Samsung SSD. I have been running 13.2 from that drive for about a year. My graphics card is not well supported by the kernels in the 13.2 chain, so I really wanted to upgrade. My problem is that I cannot get Leap to run from the SSD, which is really fast:-) Since 13.2 ran without incident, I was surprised that booting was broken by Leap. The status of the wwn mapping problem reported by bugzilla 949796 is still "in progress", which I assume means not resolved. So a repeat of what I have done will probably not yield different results, unless you have any suggestions. The return email I received from Josef Reidinger suggested that I change the default mount to UUID. But he did not respond when I asked how one accomplishes this. I am currently building a leap 42.1 on a magnetic disk. I will see how that proceeds.
