Yes, you can restore a 2014 backup with 2015. Technically, you can also continue a 2014 backup chain with 2015, but I recommend you start new backup chains.
In fact, you can restore 2015 images with 2014, but you absolutely need to create a new recovery medium with 2015 and test it.

I have found that you CAN NOT continue a TI2014 backup chain with TI2015. I encountered numerous other bugs (raised elsewhere in this forum) with TI2015 and have now gone back to TI2014. Very disappointed.

@Peter,
Even if you could, you shoudn't do it. Best practice is to start new backup chains with a new version number of Acronis. Note that I couldn't reproduce your issue. I upgraded to 2015 and tested this particular aspect. The backup chains continued their merry way. Then I created new chains anyway for peace of mind.
