Re: Upgrading 32-bit to 64-bit

Wouldn't it be easier, faster and safer to back up your data and reinstall with Wheezy 64-bit? Migrating from 32 to 64 on a live system sounds pretty hazardous to me.. unless I'm missing something.

I haven't used a native backup manager for Debian but maybe something like; http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/backup-manager could make the process easier.

Either way I recommend a complete backup before trying something like a 32-64 migration, could save you a lot of headaches :)

Hello,

I have a Debian/Squeeze 32-bit stable release (6.0.3), which is natively
installed in my laptop. The processor is a 64-bit processor (Intel(R)
Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T7250 @ 2.00GHz). Now, I would like to upgrade the OS
to Wheezy 64-bit. I found this article:

https://wiki.debian.org/Migrate32To64Bit

The question is:
Do I have to upgrade from Debian/Squeeze 32-bit to Debian/Wheezy 32-bit
(as a pre-requisite), before using the above article ?

Thanks.
