Move apps and configurations from 64-bit to 32-bit

Question

I have Ubuntu 14.04 64-bit with a bunch of apps and configurations.

I want to move all that to another computer with a fresh install of Ubuntu 14.04 32-bit.

Is this possible? Can I simply use TimeShift?

Backup your current apps and config file

 dpkg --get-selections "*" > app   # or use \*
 debconf-get-selections > appconfig.txt

Install your app in new system.

 dselect update
 debconf-set-selections < appconfig.txt
 dpkg --set-selections < app
 apt-get -u dselect-upgrade    # or dselect install

I'm on a limited data plan. Is it possible to do it without downloading too much? – Fiksdal Dec 21 '15 at 18:13
