Since you are talking about installing more than one version of Debian and switching back and forth between them I assume that you are the only user of the machine.
Yes.
You would need to make sure that the assigned user ID for your username matches in both installations and then just make sure that /data has the appropriate permissions for your user account to be able to write to it.
OK.
This is generally preferrable to directly mounting directories of the other installation just to share data, as the dedicated data sharing directory approach reduces the likelihood that a mistake will cause problems in the other installation.
Great. If there's a mistake to be made ... Thanks, Roberto. - Dan
