R.I.P. Is it possible to upgrade Incredible PBX 12.0.76.6 to 16-15 or 13-13?

I was wondering if it was possible to upgrade IPBX to a newer distro without having to start all over. I am using CentOS 6.8 on DigitalOcean but have been having so many issues I am going to move to a new host and just want to upgrade, do a backup and restore it on new host.

Nope.

Correct. Cut-and-paste is the best approach from a platform that is past its EOL and support date.

Can I use backup and restore to transfer my extensions, ring groups and routes ?

If you have a lot of extensions, then you can export your extensions to a CSV file and import the extensions to the new system. It is kind of tedious, but better than making each extension individually. The basic steps go like this:
1) Go to bulk handler on old system, export extensions to CSV.
2) On new system, create a dummy extension or two and then export those to CSV to use as a template. (I say create an extension so that the new CSV has populated data, it helped me know which column of data from the old system to copy into which column of data in the new system).
3) Copy, column by column, the data from the old system CSV to the template. Delete, if you want, the rows for the dummy extensions.
4) Import

Do the same for DIDs if you want.
