Compatibility:
————–
As always, both the Director and Storage daemon must be upgraded at
the same time.
Older 5.0.x and 3.0.x File Daemons are compatible with the 5.2.3
Director and Storage daemons. There should be no need to upgrade older File
Daemons.
New Feature:
– The restore tree cd command accepts wild cards within each
part of a path. Wild cards apply only to a single part at a
time: i.e. cd a*/b*/xx* will match abc/bcd/xxfxx
but */xx* will not match the above filename.
