Considerations when backing up on Ubuntu 18, but restoring to Ubuntu 22?

[scooke]

My Cloudron has been running on an 18.04 VPS for ages, but in preparation for the 7.5 update I am going to try something: Backing up my entire Cloudron which is currently running on the 18.04 OS, but then I am going to resinstall the server using Ubuntu 22.04 (using SSDNodes Dashboard). This line (https://docs.cloudron.io/backups/#restore-cloudron) simply cautions us to restore to the same installed version of Cloudron (mine is v7.4.3 (Ubuntu 18.04.6 LTS)), but from those of you who have done what I'm about to do, is there anything else I need to be aware of?

Much thanks!

The documentation says that it must be the same version of Cloudron i.e. 7.4.3

It doesn't matter what the Ubuntu version is, the Cloudron version is important.

Cool. I'm just backing up the entire Cloudron (I turn off several apps from time to time, but these don't get backed up, so now ALL of the installed apps are running, updated, and getting backed up), and it that succeeds I will move on to the next step.

This is correct, only the Cloudron version is relevant in this case
