I have Alma LInux 8.10 and I have some application on it, I want upgrade it Rocky Linux 9.5
Do I have safe and best way to do that?

To move to Rocky Linux 9.5, the only safe way is:

• Do a backup of data
• Wipe the system and Install Rocky 9.5
• Restore the data

Thanks,

Bit more verbosely:

1. Always have backups of data
2. Know what you have
3. Do a fresh install of Rocky 9
4. Install the equivalent applications
5. Deploy appropriate configuration for the system
6. Restore the data
