Disaster recovery (DR):

Linux client upgrade to 5.1.1:

Issue: The first backup after upgrading a Linux client might behave like a full backup, even if it's an incremental backup.
Workaround: Ensure that the first backup taken post-client upgrade to 5.1.1 is a full backup. Incremental backups after the full backup will run successfully.

Windows client-server migration to 5.1.1:

Issue: An incremental backup from the source with a Windows client will fail in 5.1.1.
Workaround: Ensure that the first backup taken post-server upgrade to 5.1.1 is a full backup. Incremental backups after the full backup will run successfully.
