I've done this ... now if I can just remember ... The repository version has to be at least as high as the database version. That much I know for sure. It's easy to do. I think you just execute the "upgrade catalog" command. If this condition is met, then you will find out real fast if you need to re-register the database when you run a backup. I don't recall needing to do this. But if you think about it, restoring a pre-upgrade backup would put you back to your old version of the database while your binaries are at the new version. Hmmmm.....
