Backup-Restore Version advice

Hi,

we do have a SQL Server 2005 running SQL Backup 5.4 and a SQL Server 2008 running SQL Backup 6.0.

Questions:
Can I backup a 2005 database using SQL Backup 5.4 and restore the backup set on the 2008 server using SQL Backup 6.0?

Can I backup a 2005 database on the 2008 SQL Server using SQL backup 6.0 and restore the backup set on the 2005 server using SQL backup 5.4?

Regards,
Thomas

    For SQL Server:
      - you can restore a SQL Server 2005 database on a SQL Server 2008 instance - you cannot restore a SQL Server 2008 database on a SQL Server 2005 instance
    For SQL Backup:
      - you can restore a backup created with any version of SQL Backup with SQL Backup 6 - you cannot restore backup files created with SQL Backup 6 using SQL Backup 5
    So it's yes to your first question, but no to your second question (due to the SQL Backup restriction).

    Thanks.
