Files written by v1.3 clients can be read by clients of all versions
-back to v1.0 (unless the file is too large -- with the default
-configuration, files greater than 12 GiB can't be read by older
-clients). v1.3 clients can read files produced by clients of all
-versions since v1.0. v1.3 servers can serve clients of all versions
-back to v1.0 and v1.3 clients can use servers of all versions back to
-v1.0 (but can't upload large files to them).

-alternatives, such as RAID, removable drive, tape, or "on-line storage"
-or "Cloud storage" systems.
