Use your Debian 9 backup. You didn't attempt to do Testing without backup, did you?

BTW, Testing is not an upgrade. It is available to test.

from 8 to 9 is not the same as from jessie to testing.
and how did you "upgrade from 9 to 10" without changing sources?
please show us all your sources lists:

Code: Select all

cat /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*

If you want help, you need to start posting the information as requested:

If you want help from the person that wrote the blog you link to,
then you need to ask them, use the comments section they have.
Is this the advice you followed:
1. Reinstall (recommended)

This is actually the recommended option, since the init scripts have changed across versions. Also it's pretty hard to guarantee that the same packages will be there.

Since you re-installed , there is no "data" left from the old system, it would
have been overwritten when you installed.

Does the new install boot ?

I boot my system by gparted and copy all important data to another HDD, and reinstall Debian again.

From the looks of it, yo can not restore your data. If you still want Debian, install the latest release using this guide:
https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/amd64/

After that, install what software you need and just upgrade the system once in a while:

Code: Select all

apt-get update
apt-get upgrade

Do you have "testing" as the release in your sources, and then not do any upgrades for a very long time?

I think downgrade is very hard in Linux.
that article was written at a time when stretch was testing and wheezy was oldsatble.
nowadays stretch is stable and wheezy is oldoldstable.
and i'm the first to agree that all this is very, very confusing.

all in all, you (blindly) followed a random blog article (and even there it says that the recommended procedure is simply to reinstall), and are now blaming ALL of Linux because it didn't work...
