Hi there,
On my backup system I've run Bareos v20 (Director and Storage Daemin) but I have a system with CentOS 6, there is running Bareos with V19 (File Director). I have tested it successful.
Are there any pages which shows the version compatibility?
As I read between the lines in https://docs.bareos.org/Appendix/BackwardCompatibility.html
the backward compatibility to a lower version of a FD should be ever possible - right?

Thanks and all the best,
Frank

Of course it's always best to have the whole environment with coherent current version but it's usually quite OK to have director slightly "ahead" of the clients. It's the other way around that easily causes problems - if you have FD's newer than director, you might run into problems.
