Backup restore in UCS 5.2

Hi
I’m thinking about installing UCS 5.2 from scratch, and restoring a UCS 5.0 backup to it. Is this possible? How should this procedure be? I only have a single UCS 5.0 master, with users, machines, samba, dns, dhcp, nothing else.

Regards,
Michael

Hey,

since 5.2 contains two Debian major updates multiple components, including OpenLDAP and Samba, will be updated inbetween - Unfortunately I can only discourage you from this approach because I cannot tell if a backup can be restored at all or what errors might follow due to missing data migrations and similar.
For my curiosity I’d be interested in the results if you would try this in an test environment, but I cannot recommend to proceed in a production setting.

Best regards
