Backup and Restore Across Footprints

You can take backup on a lower footprint and restore on a higher footprint.

Following are the limitations of backup and restore across footprints:

• The cluster is upgraded: In this case, after the upgrade, you can see the backup of the previous cluster in the upgraded cluster. While restoring, ensure that you specify the backup name to use.
• A new cluster is created with a higher footprint: For more information, see Backup and Restore Across Clusters.
