-Amanda 2\&.5\&.1 introduced a new recover protocol\&. Backup communication works with any combination of versions, but 2\&.5\&.1\'s amrecover cannot communicate with an older server\&. Use oldamrecover on 2\&.5\&.1 and higher clients when communicating with an older server\&.

The recommended course for Amanda upgrades is to upgrade the server first, and test backups and restores before upgrading clients\&. Consult the changes described below for the relevant span of versions to determine what adjustments, if any, are required\&. Also see the NEWS file shipped with each Amanda release for more detailed information\&.
