backup & restore in different version

Post by lanx98 » Tue Aug 12, 2008 5:18 pm

Hi,

If I backup the data in ver 4.5, can I restore in ver 5.8?
Or some extra steps have to perform on the side or ahead?


Thanks.

I suppose you can. It will just immediately convert your data to the current version. Be sure to try it out first in a non-critical setting. That's a pretty big jump, and I seem to remember a few conversions had trouble around version 5.0.
