Dear All, I cannot recall from my archives, if the upcoming beta of rdiff-backup will claim to be compatible with previous versions.
What is the plan? 1- to be compatible with rdiff-backup-1.2.8 ? 2- to be compatible with rdiff-backup-1.3.3 ? 3- none of the above? To make my question more clear: if the beta is ``compatible'' then I could use it on the _same_ source and destination directories on which I have used the previous version for years. If it is not compatible, I should start a ``new backup history'' into another destination directory. The FAQ states that compatibility is not assured, but Eric's message from October 2019 [1] seems to suggest that it should work. I would like to have an explicit statement from the developers before setting up my own beta testing. Thank you in advance!
