-Is it also possible to skip a release when updating? e.g. is it
possible to update 10 to 10.3 or 9 to 10.2?
It is, but see below. I recall one person recently mentioning here (this
list) successfully doing a 10.0 -> 10.3 upgrade. More below.
I did 9.3 --> 10.2, no problems. Not unexpected problems, at least.
Here are some of my perspectives, views and opinions. They are neither
authoritative, definitive nor official.
- The view long held by those among us inclined to be conservative about
system stability and integrity have generally had a strong preference
for using only clean installs, not upgrades.
I'm an exception: I always upgrade. I have done so since 5.3. If it hoses
(it did once, 7.3 --> 8.1), there is the backup and retry or clean
install.
My advice is to do a full backup before either upgrading or instaling new
version fresh.
