Hello, I would like to "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" from an oldstable (in my case Deb.11) to a stable.
System drive is EXT4 LVM, LUKS encryption.93G used and 11G free. Though I can free up at least +10GB without problem (/samba directory).
Please which commands are needed to backup/snapshot the data that would be needed to restore applications/system to the state before "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade"?
https://wiki.debian.org/XTaran/DistUpgradeWorkFlow is using lvcreate, but it fails if i set the size above around 900MB as shown in the comment below:
ChatGPT suggested steps:So is there any more universal commands to snapshot/restore, considering free space on the system drive or utilizing external mountpoint for it? So I basically know what to execute before and after(in case of a failure).
I am already backing up my /home and /etc using Back-In-Time GUI app. I would like to avoid clean OS installation and complicated steps like live bootable media, grub if possible. Thank you
