Are there forward/backward compat issues with clients?
ie if we're still on bacula 2.X on the master can be backup a bacula 5.X
client?
As far I can tell nothing between 2.x is compatible with 5.x .. just
too much has gone on between the two releases. So part of the project
is going to be:
1) How much history do we need? How do we keep it?
2) Do we need new hardware? How much will that be?
etc.
