Hello

Is there any procedures written with regard to upgrading from Debian 12 to 13? I'm not familiar enough with the command line to understand the commands so I would be looking for the correct procedures to do this.

Thanks in advance for any help that can be provided.
 
If you are not very familiar with the command line, I recommend starting a new server with Debian 13 and migrating everything manually. In-place upgrades from Debian 12 to 13 may require extensive command-line skills, as you will likely bump into unexpected issues and may or may not be able to successfully finish the upgrade.
 
Do you have a good reason to upgrade to Debian 12?
  • Right now my opinion is Debian 12 has been a stable work horse. It works great and its dependable.
  • If you don't have a special need to upgrade I would leave it on Debian 12 for now.
This shows the end of life time for Debian 12

Hello
Thanks for the help. It looks like I'm not even on Debian 12; more like Debian 11. I thought there was a way from the GUI I could select what to backup? I have IVR Greetings, CDR, VM Greetings a "Lenny" script plus system and user / extension configuration. I'm running a night backup script, so I'm wondering if I should do a complete backup and then a fresh install of FusionPBX on Debian 12 or 13? The system will be in a Proxmox VM.
