| tomreyn | most applications' configurations will be located inside your (restricted) users' /home subdirectory | 14:16 |
| tomreyn | newer versions of applications should usually be able to read and handle / update as needed these older configurations. so backing those up and restoring them should be a way to retain your application configurations. | 14:17 |
| tomreyn | system level service and software configurations are stored in /etc, and the same expectations apply there. | 14:18 |
| tomreyn | sometimes configuration file need to be upgraded to be compatible to the newer version, though, which is when you'd be asked questions during the upgrade process, IF you would be carrying out a proper release upgrade. | 14:20 |
