    This looks good.  We have a 844152x that we will be upgrading to an X4 soon.  Being able to do a secure backup from that to the X4 will save a lot of time.

    Hi George,

    In the doc, it say's the minimum firmware version on the IDG X4, 5207-52X is v11. 

    I don't even see a firmware version 11.  Our existing Datapowers are on 10.6.0.8.  Is this version incompatible with the IDG X4?

    The minimum firmware on a IDG X4 is v11 that is pre-loaded. v10.6.0.8 is not compatible with the IDG X4

    Yes, that is the plan. The upgrade has not been released.

    ok, but the X2 can't run v11, is that correct?

    Only the v11 Tooling release runs on the IDG X2. The Tooling Release only allows the capture of a Secure Backup.

    Hi George

    After doing the Tooling release upgrade, can we rollback to 10.6.0.8 on X2?

    Hi George,

    Will virtual Datapowers be able to run v11?  If so, when will the firmware for virtuals be released?
