I have at the moment ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS installed and planning on installing 13.04.



I have my root('/') mounted on one partition and my home('/home') on other partition.



If I would upgrade through normal installation(live usb/cd with format of '/' ) and set installation paramaters(same user,same computer name,same password,'/' on one partition and '/home' on other partition) like my old one, would it keep my /home directory intact?



I know if I would reinstall same version of ubuntu it won't break anything,but don't know nothing if I upgrade.

You can do the upgrade in the way you described it.
Important is, that you do not format your home-partition, but the root-partition.



BUT:




  • Ubuntu 13.04 is not released yet and could be unstable!

  • It is absolutely recommended to create a backup!
    Sometimes anything goes wrong and you will have the risk of a data loss.
