Using reverted 2014 to restore a 2015 backup?

Thread needs solution

Has anyone tried restoring an Acronis 2015 full system disk backup using Acronis 2014 after 2015 was uninstalled and 2014 was reinstalled?

I tried it with a non-system data drive backup and it worked (at least all seems to be well).

I'm thinking of just deleting the system backups I made in my 2 weeks with 2015, but if someone's had success maybe I'll keep them.

Acronis only guarantee backwards compatibility, whther any actual difference has been made to the tib file algorithm I don't know, although TI itself in 2015 can now order GPT layouts correctly and read tib files made with AB11.5, whether this has any bearing on whether a 2015 tib file differs from a 2014 one, only Acronis know.

If you can mount a 2015 OS image in 2014, I would say that you would have no problem with restoring it.
