[SOLVED] upgrade backbox 3.13 to back box 4 question

[vriaeros]

Well finally the new release is here.
I have a question..How can I upgrade to version 4 without reinstalling it again and because I have an old HDD and I can't afford yet to buy a new one.
Can it be done such as in the instructions you gave for upgrading the 3.13 version?                                                                            http://forum.backbox.org/announcements/backbox-linux-3-13-released!/.
Please help.

As i told you on the IRC chan, It is advised to install from scratch after backing up your data. It is a major release, a lot has changed in the core. Maybe you can borrow an hard disk from a friend of yours, just to copy your data and then restore them. But next time split your drive in partitions, so you can use a system partition with about 10Gb, it should be enough, and the remaining part will be used as data partition. Or you can also have a separate partition to mount as /home. It's up to you, but please organize your disk in a maintainable way.
You can try to upgrade the Ubuntu version to 14.04 from the Update Manager, and then import BackBox 4 repos, but it's not guaranteed it will work, and i think we won't offer support in such a situation, where breakages are likely and no one can verify them.

Have fun!

Better to install it from scratch because theres usually more problems if you try to install it over the old system. Maybe borrow one from a friend, or backup all of your stuff to a usb or online cloud storage. then just install it clean
