3.2 is **very** old now... going back to at least 2012 if not further.
Koha is designed to be updated in place, in smaller increments at a time. You will find this larger jump exceedingly difficult. It will almost certainly break things for you, but going back that far it's impossible for me to say what.
If you're using the debian packages, you **might** be able to slow this down by carefully controlling the debian apt repository targets, such that you only do a version or two at a time. Then you could check through things at a each jump and take a backup before moving to the next. That will take much longer, but it should at least be safer and a little more reliable. If that's even still possible.
To avoid this situation in the future, it's much better to upgrade **at least** once every other year.

Hello,
Our library is planning to upgrade Koha from the version 3.2 to 19.05 (latest).
Could you please give us a complete tutorial, system requirements, and the things we have to do (backup ?, etc,) before starting the upgrade.
Is it possible to upgrade directly from 3.2 to 19.05 ? or we have to upgrade to lower versions before?
Best regards, Walid
