backup v firmware compatibility

slateboy · Jun 20th 2014

Can anyone clarify if there are any known compatibility issues when restoring a backup that was made under a different firmware,
ie; restoring an old backup with the latest FW or maybe a trying to restore a recent backup into a KPW running older FW.

for the sake of this discussion, imagine that we don't have the option to upgrade the KPA FW on this particular occasion.

thanks

I have had no problems doing this.

AFAIK there have been no compatibility issues.

Stupid question: isn't the firmware PART of the backup, in essence overwriting any "new" firmware with the "old" one?

No the firmware is not part of the backup.
