BR checks whether the system table data is compatible across different collations. If it is compatible, BR can successfully restore backups from earlier versions; otherwise, BR reports an error and stops the restore. The following table lists the compatibility matrix for full backups. Note that all information in the table applies to newly created clusters. For clusters upgraded from a version earlier than v7.2.0 to v7.2.0 or later, their behavior is consistent with that of backups from v7.1.0.
