<div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px;"><font face="Arial">You
cannot DRF backup and restore to a different version. Normal L2
upgrades make the use of "to side" (new version) binaries while
still running in the "from side" (old version). In previous
versions this was not an issue as binaries from different rhel
versions could be run across versions. Rhel5 binaries cannot
be run in Rhel4, creating the need for the RU upgrade.<br>

every entity is different, but now if I start having to

gonna be difficult.<span><br>

of the RHEL version change underneath. CUCM upgrade
