Personally i would not take that risk and buy me a new SD card, install the OS and domoticz (same version) and restore it's database.

One should always have a backup of Domoticz, it's database and your personal scripts.
Normally the Sd card should work in Pi2, Pi3 and Pi3B

well...
I did a backup first and I can say it works....

the only issue was the Wifi and BT interface that would not work.
It's a firmare issue (probably based on quite old raspian image I've installed) that can be easly fix by upgrading the brcm firmware


Thanks to all! :D
