No, I have made the distupgrade release by release
and checked, whether anything was working.

And yes, from Etch to Lenny, Squeeze and Wheeze it was working.

And then the nightmare came over me!

Currently I install a Wheeze Workstation + Server around 3 GByte
of installation will back it up and try the migration to Jessie again.

If anything goes wrong, my bootloader is configured to boot a
rescue system which reinstall the Wheeze backup...
