Hello Harvey,

Yes, you can. When you open a 5.1 tree, Gramps 5.2 will tell you that it 
needs to be upgraded, and if you allow that, it will create a ZIP file 
containing the database contents before doing the actual upgrade. That 
ZIP file will be stored in your .gramps folder, and it will stay there 
until you remove it.

May I ask what package you're planning to use for 5.2.2? I tried Leap 
here, in a VM, and had some problems with that.

Regards,

Enno
