The client bacula-fd is version 7.4.3 (18 June 2016)

and the director and storage daemons are
version 9.6.7 (10 December 2020)

Is that too great a version disparity?


It's not.
I have director and storage daemon of version 9.6.7 and
few file daemons of version 5.0.0 which I plan to
upgrade soon.


Regards!
