I've recently Upgrade my UBUNTU(18.10) to 19.04(For some reasons I had to install the OS from the first and not just using upgrade tool in OS) and before I migrated to 19.04,I backed up some directories as mentioned here , but when I restored my back up my UBUNTU exploded so I had to reinstall the UBUNTU and gave up about the backup
My question is , if I want to migrate to new version of UBUNTU in future , what directories should I backup so I don't have to install all of packages and all their configurations and all services that I installed before and most importantly ,no compatibility issues appear ??
Which directories do you suggest to backup if someone wants to upgrade his OS and doesn't want to do all of things from the beginning of installing an OS again ??

What you wish to backup depends on what is important to you. I primarily worry about $HOME (your user directory) as anything is generally generic. I also install with 'something else' & select no-format, so only system directories are erased, and programs that were installed from Ubuntu repositories are re-installed post-install automatically. I do make certain other alterations to my installs which mean a few files in /etc/ also may be saved; but I have a script that re-creates these anyway. The type of backup also makes a difference (does your chosen method allow selective restore?)
