Error filesystem from unix 32 to linux 64

Hi all.
Im migrating from a Unix 32 bit to a linux suse 10 64 bit and would like to know whats the best way to migrate the filesystems? cpio? tar? ftp? Could I make a backup in tape in the unix 32 and restore it in the linux 64?

thanx

You would not migrate file systems, you would instead migrate the data. I would avoid anything like / or any system filesystems. Any data from /home should work, as would some custom scripts, but not generally anything like init scripts.

You can save them any way you wish, including tar, which would probably be best.
