Downgrades are currently supported starting in release 6.3 (i.e. you can downgrade to a version \>= 6.3). In addition, there is currently work going into a 6.2 patch release to support downgrading from 6.3 to 6.2. However, downgrading a full minor version to 6.1 and below is not something that is supported or tested. ---

While I can’t say this is actually tested, the backup format did not change from 6.1 to 6.2 so this should work. ---

Hi! Any idea when 6.2.33 will be released? We’d like to upgrade to 6.3 but need to test rollback first. Thanks! ---

It sounds like we aren’t likely to release any more patches for 6.2. If you are comfortable building FoundationDB yourself, you could build the commit tagged with 6.2.33 and use it. ---
