Hi there,
To expand on the 2 links you were given:
It is possible to do a direct upgrade to BE 2010 R2 from BE 12.5. Couple of things to look out for, so read up on my article below for a bit of insight.

The upgrade is straight-forward, but you obviously need your license keys, and you can simply follow the prompts. It is a case of following the wizard, which will detect your installation, and install to that same location.
That said, the simplest way for your client to do a "health check", is to make sure their backups run successfully.
However, you will also know that things look OK when you see the upgrade succeed, and the DB gets migrated!
Don't forget to update your media server with any available BE patches, and push these out to any remote servers!
Laters!
