[rdiff-backup-users] Re: rdiff-backup-users Digest, Vol 33, Issue 10

[Robert Yoon]

I have a quick question , Is rdiff-backup 1.0 backward compatible.  For 
instance lets  say the client has v 0.12.6  and the backup server has 
version 1.0  will there be any problems backing the client up to the 
server?  I have around 400 servers using rdiff and I dont want to 
upgrade unless its fairly easy. I like some of the new features in 
version 1.0 also...hmm
