Can I save 32 bit /home partition and put back in 64 bit sys

[marchugo]

Hello,

I plan to upgrade from MGA 5 32 bit to MGA 6 64 bit, with a clean install.
Is it safe to use rsync or fsarchiver to backup 32 bit partitions like /home, /etc, /lib/systemd, /var/lib? Can these backups safely be put back on the new clean 64 MGA 6 system?

Thanks,
marc

If you do a clean install, why restore stuff from /etc, /lib/systemd, /var/lib from an old system?
I'd recommend to only transfer over stuff under /home but I wouldn't just copy over any dot directories but go one by one.
