Hi all, had an internal report of having a challenge with taking a backup chain encrypted with 12.1 and being able to import those backups into a v12 VBR. Has anybody else tried this?

I know that 12.1 is considered a non-breaking release and backups definitely work when you take 12.1 to 12.0 VCC servers, but not being able to import could be an issue, albeit one that can be worked around with extract.exe.

We have not tested this as of yet since we are not at 12.1 but will be soon.  Not sure we will try it though as that seems like a one-off use case.  If you need it tested, I can see if I can get it done let me know.

Have not tried this.  I don’t think I have a scenario where I could easily test it either.
