I have finally gotten AMD64 Precise installed on a new drive. I still have i386 Precise on an older drive. All Apps on the old drive have been installed in the AMD64 Precise. How can I move my Home directory to the new drive?

Code:rsync -avz source/ destination/
Windows assumes the user is an idiot.
Linux demands proof.
rsync is a good bet. you can also tar the whole thing, and then untar it in the right place.
we have a GUI backup tool too , open system settings there you can find it .
Dont miss anything even it is small. one small pin is enough to bring down a man.
Thanks to all for the responses. I used rsync to copy the Home directory and it seems to be working. My real question which I forgot to ask is if the Home directories created by 32 and 64 bit systems are compatible? Or is there a config file or something waiting to blow up?
There is a lot of confusion with 32-bit and 64-bit floating around. The only thing you need to know is: executable binaries that are programmed to use address spaces with a bit greater than the host OS won't run. This only applies to executable binaries and not stuff like documents of videos.
Hope that cleared up the confusion.
EDIT: Can you mark this thread as solved?
